Standalone SMD Agent for EEM won't connect to SLD

Question

I have installed a standalone SMD agent, which was configured properly (logs verify this) and starts up successfully, but I don't ever see it register in the SLD. Does anyone know of a guide which tells how to manage a standalone SMD agent? I want to get it connected to the SLD in Solution Manager so that I can use it as an EEM robot, but the connectivity so far is not working.
For instance, if there is a way to get something like SM59 in an ABAP system on my SMD agent to change and test connectivity parameters, this may help.
Cheers,
David.

Answer 1

OK, thanks for the reference to the troubleshooting guide, I had not seen that before. Using it, I found the following procedure:
How to check if the Diagnostics agent is registered in SLD?
␣ Go in SLD with the url: http://sldhostname:port/sld
␣ Logon with a J2EE user having the role SAP_SLD_ADMINISTRATOR
␣ Go in the section u2018Administrationu2019
␣ Click on link u2018Content Maintenanceu2019
␣ Select the subset u2018All with Instances and class u2018Diagnostics Agent Instanceu2019
If the class u2018Diagnostics Agent Instanceu2019 does not appear in drop down list, No Diagnostics agent is registered
␣ In column Name of table, check if the Diagnostics agent is present.
This procedure verified that my diagnostics agent is in fact in contact with the SLD, but for some reason, the agent does not show up in the SLD when I go to Home > Technical Systems, nor does it show up when I go to the EEM Administration screen > Robots > Check Agents.
So I'll have to keep researching.
Cheers,
David.
