What does my Agent State mean?

Agents in JAMS have a number of possible States, which give users valuable information about the Agent's current status.

This article lists out possible Agent States and the corresponding description for each. The Agent States are ordered alphabetically below. Where applicable, JAMS Agent versions are listed in the Description column.

Agent State	Description
Connected	A JAMS V6.X Agent that is currently a running Jobs.
Connected_*	A JAMS V6.X Agent where Jobs are running, or a new connection is being made.
Connecting	A connection was initiated, and JAMS is waiting for connection to the Agent.
Disconnected	May be the result of: An incoming Agent that is not connected An AgentX Job completed, and nothing else is running on the Agent
Disconnecting	The Agent has been disabled, but is waiting for jobs to finish before it fully disconnects.
Dropped	The Agent dropped connection unexpectedly.
Failed	May be the result of: An error making the connection (often due to a bad address or port) An error setting up connection security (except authentication) The Hello exchange failed AgentX start failed
Idle	An Agent where the last connect succeeded, but the Agent is not running any Jobs.
Initializing	The Executor is currently setting up the Agent.
Misconfigured	The Agent address and port connect to a non-Agent service.
None	Agent States are not supported by the given Agent's type.
Offline	The Agent is disabled.
Online	A connected V7.X Agent. Connected V7 Agents may show as Online with or without running Jobs, depending on the Connect On Demand property for the Agent. If the property is enabled, the status is Online only when a Job is running on the Outgoing Agent.
Throttled	Too many connection attempts are pending NOTE: JAMS allows a maximum of 10 concurrent connection attempts. For example, if JAMS needs to connect to 1,000 Agents, it will do so with 10 connection attempts running concurrently, automatically working its way down the list as Agents move from Connecting to Connected.
Timeout	The connection to the Agent did not complete before timeout.
Unauthenticated	The attempt to establish connection security failed.
Unknown	The JAMS Scheduler is not available.
Unreachable	The Agent address does not resolve.
