# Agents

A list of all active and inactive agents will be shown in the detailed view of the “Cameras” menu where the green thumbs up represents active status and the red thumbs down depicts inactive status. This is the easiest way to check whether your cameras are actively reading plates.

## Agent Name

The agent name can be changed in order to customize the order of cameras. Examples of naming schemes are the specific location of the camera, cross streets, or an address. To change the name of the agent, click on the agent name, and a new window will open.

Click the “X” with a gray circle background inside the box to clear the current name and enter the new name. Click on the checkmark to save.

## Agent Configuration

Under the Agents screen, you can also view the current video stream and agent status. Additional functionalities include new video stream configuration, agent parameter settings, and review of the current live agent log which can be accessed and set by clicking on the `Configure` button of the specific agent. Unused agents can also be removed by clicking on the `Delete` button in the same box.

Upon encountering this error, restart the system and check for the agent connection shortly after. If the error persists, contact Rekor Support by [opening a support ticket](https://help.rekor.ai/kb-tickets/new).

Clicking `Configure` on a connected agent will redirect the user to the following screen.

## Agent Log

The “Agent Log” provides detailed information about the activities and status of the agent in real time. It records all the information about events that happen in the system. Also, “Agent Start” and “Agent Stop” features are included at the bottom of the “Agent Log” sub-section to be used as needed.
