Overview¶
You can shut down and restart Monitoring Agents. For proper operation of Ops Manager your Ops Manager project must have at least one Monitoring Agent running.
Beginning with Monitoring Agent version 5.0.0, you can run multiple agents to distribute monitoring assignments. If you shut an agent down, Ops Manager redistributes the agent’s assignments. For more information, see Multiple Monitoring Agents.
