Master agents are background processes operating on each Pega 7 Platform node that are not defined by agents rules.
The Master-for-Requestors master agent monitors idle requestor sessions to enforce automatic timeouts.
By default, this operation occurs every 60 seconds. This value can be updated in the prconfig.xml file setting:
<env name="agents/requestortimeoutwakeup" value="NNN" />
where NNN is in seconds.
The Manager-for-Agent (also known as the Agent Master) master agent starts and monitors agents defined through agents rules and agent schedule data instances.
By default, this operation occurs every 10 minutes. This value can be updated in the prconfig.xml file setting:
<env name="agents/newqueuewakeup" value="NNN" />
where NNN is in seconds.
