Centralpoint Agent

The Centralpoint Agent is a windows service that is automatically started when the server is started.  When the master is installed on the server it is installed, initialized and started.  It communicates with the master console using a web service at /WebServices/ScheduledTasks.asmx.

The fully qualified URL to the master web service is stored in the windows service app.config file during installation and must be manually modified if the master's URL is changed.  This app.config file also maintains the scheduler frequency (number of minutes between scheduler executions) which has a default value of 30.  It is highly recommended that this setting contain a value between 1 and 1440 (24 hours).  

The scheduler frequency is the rate at which the scheduler will check for scheduled tasks in which the next run time has passed.  It is directly tied to the accuracy of the scheduler and will initially run tasks within the 30 minutes of their scheduled time.  Server restarts cause the timer to begin counting again.  This may cause problems if the frequency is greater than the time between server restarts.  For instance, if a server is restarted every 4 hours and the scheduler frequency is 241 (4 hours 1 minute), the scheduler will never execute because the timer will restart every 240 minutes never reaching the 241 minute execution mark.

Modify Centerpoint Agent run time frequency: In \\ServerIp\centralpoint\Agent open CentralpointAgent.exe.config in notepad. In appSettings find Interval_Minutes and set desired value(in minutes). Save File. Start > Run > services.msc In open Services window find 'Centralpoint Agent' right click and select restart.
