Managing Orchestrator Agent Machines

The Worksoft RPA Orchestrator leverages dedicated remote machines with the Worksoft Orchestrator Agent installed on them. Digital workers use it to run robotic tests.

With the Machine Administration page, administrators can view the following details of each machine:

  • IP address
  • Logical name

  • Number of digital workers

  • Digital workers status

  • Machine status

Orchestrator Agent machines are dynamically created by installing Orchestrator Agent onto a remote machine. After you have installed Orchestrator Agent, the machine will appear on the Machine Administration page and be ready to run robotic tests. For information about installing Orchestrator Agent, see Installing Orchestrator Agent.

Digital Workers

The first number shown in the Digital Workers column is the number of digital workers on the machine. The second number is the maximum number of workers allowed on the machine. For information on how to add digital workers, see Creating Digital Workers.

In the Digital Workers Status column, administrators can view the status of digital workers:

  • Running

    This status displays the digital workers that are currently executing processes.

  • Not Running

    This status displays digital workers waiting for work.

By selecting a status from the Machine Status drop-down list, administrators can view the Orchestrator Agent machines associated with the selected status:
