One or more agent servers have not been responding for [n] minutes

Description

This alert is triggered when the Server Manager agent is unable to contact one or more Agent Servers for a specific period of time. This indicates the Agent Server may be unresponsive or has failed to check in.

Resolution Guidance

The Agent Server is likely not functioning correctly.
All Agents on the server may stop responding and will not perform their assigned work.
Agent check-in times will stop updating and jobs may remain unprocessed.
If left unresolved, this may delay workflows or cause job queues to grow.

How To Resolve

Log in to the host referenced by the alert.
Use the Relativity Service account credentials to access the back end of the Agent Server.
Open the Services control panel on the server.
Locate this service:
- kCura EDDS Agent Manager
If the service is not running:
- Right-click on the service name and choose Start.
- If already running but not responding, right-click and select Stop, then Start to restart it.
If the issue persists after restarting services:
- Open Event Viewer on the Agent Server.
- Review Windows Logs → Application and System logs for any error messages related to the failing services.
- Use the information to identify underlying issues preventing the services from starting or functioning properly.
