# Agent Client Collector API

The Agent Client Collector API provides endpoints to manage actions on available agents and managing policies.

This API requires the Agent Client Collector Framework \(sn\_agent\) store application and is provided within the `sn_agent` namespace. The endpoints in this API require the agent\_client\_collector\_admin role. For more information, refer to [Agent Client Collector](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/it-operations-management/acc-landing-page.md).

-   **Agent management endpoints**

    -   Get extensive information of one or more agents. These endpoints are also accessible to users with the agent\_client\_collector\_user role.
        -   [GET /agents/\{agent\_id\}](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/agnt_clnt_cll-api.md)
        -   [GET /agents/list](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/agnt_clnt_cll-api.md)
    -   Submit a request to grab an agent log and retrieving information about the request progress.
        -   [GET /agents/\{agent\_id\}/log](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/agnt_clnt_cll-api.md)
        -   [GET /agents/log/\{request\_id\}/](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/agnt_clnt_cll-api.md)
    -   Disable or enable agent data collection.
        -   [GET /agents/\{agent\_id\}/data/off](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/agnt_clnt_cll-api.md)
        -   [GET /agents/\{agent\_id\}/data/on](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/agnt_clnt_cll-api.md)
    -   Restart an agent with [GET /agents/\{agent\_id\}/restart](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/agnt_clnt_cll-api.md).
    -   Run discovery on an agent with [GET /agents/\{agent\_id\}/discovery](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/agnt_clnt_cll-api.md).
    For information on performing similar tasks in a script include, see [AccAgentsAPI](https://developer.servicenow.com/go_to_api.do?ID=AccAgentsAPIAPIScoped&v=utah).

-   **Policy management and workflow**

    Use policy management APIs to view details, activate/deactivate a policy, update a policy, and publish a policy.

    To update a policy:

    1.  Get a list of policies and details with [GET /agents/policies/list](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/agnt_clnt_cll-api.md). This endpoint requires the agent\_client\_collector\_user role.
        -   To update a policy in the Draft state, use the sys\_ids retrieved from the policies list in the update endpoints.
        -   To update a policy in Published or Published\* state, get an editable sandbox copy with [GET /agents/policy/sandbox\_from\_published/\{policy\_id\}](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/agnt_clnt_cll-api.md). Use the sys\_ids from this response to modify properties using an update endpoint.
    2.  Modify policy details using an update endpoint.
        -   [POST /agents/update/policy/\{policy\_id\}](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/agnt_clnt_cll-api.md)
        -   [POST /agents/update/check/\{check\_id\}](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/agnt_clnt_cll-api.md)
        -   [POST /agents/update/check\_param/\{param\_id\}](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/agnt_clnt_cll-api.md)
        -   [POST /agents/update/check\_secure\_param/\{param\_id\}](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/agnt_clnt_cll-api.md)
    3.  Publish the policy using [GET /agents/policy/publish/\{policy\_id\}](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/agnt_clnt_cll-api.md).
    Once published, the policy becomes Active. This API also includes endpoints for activating or deactivating a published policy:

    -   [GET /agents/policy/activate/\{policy\_id\}](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/agnt_clnt_cll-api.md)
    -   [GET /agents/policy/deactivate/\{policy\_id\}](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/agnt_clnt_cll-api.md)
