Pool Assignment

2 min

Pools allow control over which agents run an action. Pools may contain multiple agents, and agents may belong to multiple pools.

Common Scenarios:

You have several isolated networks. Network A has a database required for an action, Network B has a SIEM system that needs to be queried. By installing two remote agents, and assigning them to separate pools, the actions that require those resources will be available to the actions running on the remote agents.
You want to be sure that your remote agents are highly available. By installing several remote agents on different VMs across availability zones, then assigning those to the same pool, actions requiring those agents will be able to run in several availability zones.

You can assign a pool to an action. To create an action, see ActionsActions. To assign a pool at the action-level:

From ACTION, click the Show advanced settings drop-down.
$default is the default pool.
To change the pool, click the drop-down and select from the available pool options.
Now the action will run in the selected pool.

Transformation and Python actions do not function with remote agents.
