[New app]: ControlUp Agent manager

[bmitchell76]

What is the new application?

The Real-Time Agent Manager is a Windows service installed on the same machine that the ControlUp Agent Windows service is installed on. Installing the Real-Time Agent Manager also installs the ControlUp Agent. The Real-Time Agent Manager’s main functionality is to act as a “watchdog” for the ControlUp Agent. For example, if the ControlUp Agent stops, the Real-Time Agent Manager restarts the agent. Reciprocally, if the Real-Time Agent Manager stops, the ControlUp Agent restarts the Real-Time Agent Manager.

ControlUp haven't added this to the JSON here: https://www.controlup.com/latest-agent-console/. Are you aware of any other location to get the latest version?

[bmitchell76]

I reached out to our ControlUp account team, and they have updated the JSON to include agent manager downloads.

but it looks like it has broken the existing ControlUpAgent

Yeah, the JSON is invalid. Not the first time they've broken it

[bmitchell76]

I let them know and they've fixed the JSON.
