Manually checking the connection between a client device and the Administration Server. Klnagchk utility

You can check the connection and obtain detailed information about the settings of the connection between a client device and Administration Server by using the klnagchk utility.

When Network Agent is installed on a device, the klnagchk utility is automatically copied to the Network Agent installation folder.

When started from the command line, the klnagchk utility can perform the following actions (depending on the keys in use):

• Displays on the screen or logs the values of the settings used for connecting the Network Agent installed on the device to Administration Server.
• Records into an event log file Network Agent statistics (since its last startup) and utility operation results, or displays the information on the screen.
• Makes an attempt to establish connection between Network Agent and Administration Server.

  If the connection attempt fails, the utility sends an ICMP packet to check the status of the device on which Administration Server is installed.
