The status bar indicates the total number of agents connected to your Tosca Distribution Server as well as the status of the agents.

The Agent View uses the following icons to illustrate the status of an agent:

	Executing. ExecutionLists are currently executed on the agent (Running)
	Idle mode. The agent is ready to receive ExecutionLists for execution.
	Execution canceling. A TestEvent or ExecutionList was canceled via the Distributed Execution Monitor.
	Failure. The agent is in failure mode and not reachable. User interaction may be required to solve the problem.
	Paused. The execution of ExecutionLists is paused on the agent, because the agent is opened for configuration.
	Starting. The agent is currently starting.

The columns below the status bar provide you with detailed information on the agents:

Column	Description
State	State of the agent

Address	Address of the machine on which the agent is running
Actual Result	Shows the execution status of the last ExecutionList running on the agent (Passed, Failed, Remaining)
