How to Suppress the Performance Object Status TEPS node in Agent Builder based agents

If you ever generated an ITM Agent Builder based agent that didn’t contain any Availability filters, your agent probably ended up with a TEPs node called Performance Object Status.

The Performance Object Status attribute group provides a dashboard view of the status of all the attribute group collections occurring in a Agent Builder / Agent Factory based agents. While this information is great, it’s not always preferable to have that information so prominently displayed in the TEP navigator as a distinct node.

To remove the Performance Object Status navigator node from your agent, add the following element to your itm_toolkit_agent.xml file before you generate your agent:

<perf_status_obj_nav_item enable="false" />

This entry should be immediately above and at same level in the XML as the custom_provider_list element.

If you’ve added the above text to your agent xml and generated your agent, the Performance Object Status node should now be suppressed. Note: Even though you’ve suppressed the navigator node, the Performance_Object_Status attribute group and all of it’s data is still available to create workspaces / views with.
