Agent Operation Modes

Full Control

Default mode. The agent collects metrics from all devices on the network and executes user commands: reboot, pool switching, firmware installation, cooling management, and any other operations.

Use Full Control for agents that service production devices under your management.

Monitoring Only

The agent operates only in data collection mode — metrics flow into Pulse, but no commands are sent to devices. Attempting to perform an operation on a device through an agent in Monitoring Only mode will be rejected.

When to use Monitoring Only:

• Monitoring client equipment at a mining hotel without the right to intervene
• Observing devices on a test or isolated network
• Situations where you need to prevent accidental command execution

The current mode is displayed in the Mode column in the agent list.

Agent Pause

The agent can be temporarily paused without deletion. In pause mode, the agent stops scanning the network and collecting metrics.

What happens during pause:

• All devices bound to this agent transition to Offline status
• Commands are not sent to these devices
• Agent configuration and scan tasks are preserved
• The agent can be resumed at any time via Resume in the context menu

When to use pause:

• Network maintenance where the agent operates
• Temporarily disconnecting a network segment without deleting the agent
• Scheduled maintenance of the server running the agent

Switching Modes

You can change the agent's operation mode at any time via the agent context menu → Change mode. The change takes effect immediately without restarting the agent.
