BI Platform Support Tool Issue: Question on Host Agents

[kim_matthews2]

Question Please on the Host Agents - I'm installing Introscope 9.5 stand-alone monitoring using Toby's blog (http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/blog/2016/04/05/new-complete-tutorial-for-setting-up-intros...). At Step 3 - installing the diagnostic Agent on each BI node.  I've already installed the SAP Host Agents across nodes for the BIPST.  Is the Diagnostic Agent 7.4 referenced on the Introscope install a new version?  Does it take the place of the Host Agents already installed?  Can you provide more guidance on the Introscope Diagnostic agent and the Host Agents installed for BIPST? Thank you Kim

Hi Kim,

If you install the Diagnostic Agent 7.4, it includes SAP Host Agent 7.21 and is compatible with the BIPST. 

If you already have the SAP Host Agent 7.20 installed on the server, I would uninstall it first then install the Diagnostic Agent 7.4.  Then you can re-add your BIPST operations.d folder after the Diagnostic Agent / new Host agent is installed.

Cheers

Toby
