Editing sgagent.conf

You define attributes for the entire Server Pool in the sgagent.conf file.

The file common to all Server Pool members is called sgagent.conf. In this file, you define attributes for the entire Server Pool. In most cases, the Server Pool members are similar in configuration and function, so the tests performed on each member are also similar. Usually, the same sgagent.conf file is used on all servers. The sgagent.conf file contains two sections: the statement section and the test section.

An example sgagent.conf file
