Agent proxy not enabled

Microsoft.SystemCenter.DiscoveryWriteActionModule.AgentProxyingNotEnabled.Alert (Rule)

The agent was not able to submit data on behalf of another computer because agent proxy is not enabled.

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This alert indicates that an Operations Manager agent attempted to discover or generate data about an object that resides on another computer. This is not allowed by default, but is sometimes required for proper monitoring. For example, the agent might be running as part of a cluster, and trying to discover the virtual cluster node.

The agent will not be able to do this until agent proxy is enabled.

Causes

It may be completely valid for the agent to discover objects residing on another computer. You must review the details of the alert description to determine if the agent should be configured with proxying.

Resolutions

If you have reviewed that the agent should be able to discover and send data on behalf of another computer, you should enable proxying for that agent:
