Determining Number of Necessary Agents

FactoryTalk AssetCentre uses agents to perform scheduled tasks, such as scheduled searches of the audit logs and backups of assets such as ControlLogix controllers. If a system is not using the Disaster Recovery capability, scheduled searches will be the only function that requires the FactoryTalk AssetCentre agent. Many architectures will find need for only a single agent, oftentimes co-located with the FactoryTalk AssetCentre server.

See the section of this document on Disaster Recover for more information on how many FactoryTalk AssetCentre agents are required for systems using the Disaster Recovery capability.
