Client Plug-in Deactivate Required: The Client Plug-in is installed and listening, but has
already been activated by another Server Plug-in. To be activated by this Server Plug-in, the
Client Plug-in must be deactivated locally on the Computer.
After a successful activation the Client Plug-in state will change to "Online". If the activation failed the
Computer status will display "Client Plug-in Activation Failed" with the reason for the failure in brackets.
Click this link to display the system event for more details on the reason for the activation failure.
Check the Status of a Computer
This command simply checks the status of a Computer without performing a scan or activation attempt.
Deactivate the Client Plug-in on a Computer
You may want to transfer control of a Computer/Client Plug-in from one IDF Server Plug-in installation to
another. If so, the Client Plug-in has to be deactivated and then activated again by the new Server Plugin.
Deactivating the Client Plug-in can be done locally on the Computer through the Client Plug-in UI or
from the Server Plug-in currently managing the Client Plug-in. (A Computer does not have to reachable in
order to be deactivated. If an unreachable deactivated Computer becomes reachable again, it will simply
appear as a "New (Unknown)" Computer in the Computers List.)
Update the Client Plug-in on a Computer
Updating the Client Plug-in on a Computer deploys any configuration changes you have made for that
Computer from the Server Plug-in to the Client Plug-in. Updates occur automatically at every heartbeat,
but if you wish to apply your changes immediately, you can use this option. The Update Now button can
be used to override the Computer access schedule or to force the Server Plug-in to retry an update if the
previous attempt failed.
Note that the automatic updates actually occur immediately if the communications are not Client
Plug-in initiated, and they occur on the next heartbeat if Client Plug-in initiated.
Get Events from Computer(s)
Override the normal event retrieval schedule (usually every heartbeat) and retrieve the Event logs from
the Computer(a) now.
Clear Warnings/Errors
This command will clear any warnings or errors generated for a Computer whose Client Plug-in has been
reset locally or has simply been removed from the network before a User has had a chance to deactivate
or delete the Computer from the Computers List.
Lock a Client Plug-in
You can lock a Computer if you are going to perform some maintenance on it and don't want to trigger a
series of alerts on the Server Plug-in.
