Fallback Status Point

The Fallback Status Point (FSP) provides a safety net for clients. A client system can send status messages to a Fallback Status Point when initial communication has been established, such as when a new agent is installed, or when communication has failed and the client is orphaned or otherwise unable to establish normal communication with the site.

The FSP can support up to 100,000 clients. Only a single FSP can be installed in each site. During deployment, clients send state messages to the FSP. During a large deployment, the throttling thresholds should be adjusted to accommodate the expected load. The default FSP settings are configured to process 10,000 messages per hour.
