The Data Agent and Data Agent Controller are two independent processes within Incorta.
Both processes may occasionally disconnect due to network instability or other transient issues. If this happens, each process will automatically attempt to reconnect immediately.
The following table explains the color codes and status indicators displayed for Data Agent (DA) and Controller connectivity in Incorta:
