Unhealthy Agents

Introduction

The following information is the general description of the health check and unhealthy agents in Configuration Management.
 
The purpose of the CapaInstaller Agent Health Check is to maintain a healthy and up to date agent on every computer/server.
 
The fundamental for the health check is a service named CapaInstaller Installation Service (ciinstsvc). The service is installed on every computer/server during agent deployment. The service initiates in a 4 hours interval the health check script named “CapaInstaller Health Check.vbs”. The script has the following functionality when invoked by the service.

• Check Capanstaller Installation service (ciinstsvc)
• Check .net runtime
• Check the CapaInstaller Scripting component
• Check that .cis extension has been registered to use the vbscript engine
• Check CapaInstaller Agent service (cistub)
• Update agent files
• Update service files
  If a component check fails, the standard installation method is invoked and the component is repaired. If it’s impossible to repair the service a request is sent to the console and the client is added to the unhealthy agent view, which can be found under Views in Configuration Management. If the script named “CapaInstaller Health Check.vbs” is launched from the AD startup script the following checks are completed:
• Check CapaInstaller Installation service (ciinstsvc)
• Check .net runtime
• Check the CapaInstaller Scripting component
• Check that .cis extension has been registered to use the vbscript engine
• Check CapaInstaller Agent service (cistub)
  To start the script from the AD start up script use the following: Cscript %ProgramFiles%\CapaInstaller\Agent\CapaInstaller Health Check.vbs
   
  Example: Cscript %ProgramFiles%\CapaInstaller\Agent\CapaInstaller Health Check.vbs \\ws32-srv2003\cmpProd
