Kwagent

Important: Distributed Analysis is no longer supported.

The kwagent command runs analysis agents as part of a distributed Klocwork analysis.

Note that you must start the Distributed Analysis Server with kwdist before running kwagent.

Each machine that is intended to be used for remote compilation should run one or more agents. For optimal performance, Klocwork recommends that you run three agents for every Build Host processor (the Build Host is the host running kwbuildproject). For example, with a quad-core Build Host machine, you could run 12 agents (4 processors * 3 agents per processor).

For each agent, specify the host name of the machine where the Distributed Analysis Server (kwdist) is running, as well as the Distributed Analysis Server port number (default: localhost and 3440).

Usage

kwagent --"host <Distributed-Analysis-Server-host> --port <Distributed-Analysis-Server-port>

Example

kwagent --host ServerXYZ.companyABC.com --port 3460
