You might have started with using NetScaler Console for management and monitoring only, and later you might want to use other features such as pooled licensing and analytics. For that, you must transition from the built-in agent to an external agent.

The built-in agent supports only management and monitoring features. For other NetScaler Console features such as pooled licensing and analytics, you need an external agent. This document covers the steps for transitioning from an existing NetScaler Console built-in agent to an external hypervisor-based agent.

Before you start

Install an external agent before you start transitioning. Follow the procedure given in the topic Install a NetScaler agent on-premises.

Transition from a built-in agent to an external agent

Follow these steps to transition from a built-in agent to an external agent:

In the NetScaler Console GUI, under Infrastructure > Instances Dashboard > NetScaler, select the NetScaler instance and click Edit.
Select the site and agent and click OK.
Select the instance again and click Select Action > Rediscover.

For information on how to create a site in NetScaler Console and add the agent to the site, see Add Instances
