Create a cluster of agents on multiple proxy servers to monitor services external to
the host server. Creating a cluster of agents enables you to assign that cluster to multiple
policies instead of having to assign the agents individually to every policy.

## Before you begin

Role required: agent_client_collector_admin

## About this task

A proxy agent cluster monitors the CIs that match the filter specified on the
policy's Monitored CIs tab.

A proxy agent cluster must contain at least one agent. All of the cluster's agents
monitor the CIs specified in its assigned policy. No special configuration is
necessary on the policy level to enable proxy cluster monitoring.

The default CPU threshold value when working with proxy agent clusters is 80%. You
can modify this value in the proxy_cpu_percentage_limit
property.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllAgent Client CollectorConfigurationProxy Agent Cluster.
2. Select New.
3. In the Name field, enter a descriptive name for the cluster.
4. Add an agent to the cluster.
   1. In the Agents in cluster section, locate the Agent column and select Insert a new row.
   2. Select the search icon (![search icon]()) and select an agent to add to the cluster.
   3. Select the check icon (![check icon]()) to add the agent to the cluster.

   {#configure-agent-proxy-cluster__substeps_tcq_w5j_55b}  
   Repeat this step for each agent that you want to add to the cluster.
5. Select Submit.

## Result

The Proxy Agent Clusters page appears and displays the agent
added to the cluster.

## What to do next

Select this proxy cluster to monitor CIs specified in an agent policy. For details,
see [Configure an agent on a proxy server](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/EMUpKCqNFXTmCJtYHfvNyw "Configure an Agent Client Collector on a proxy server when monitoring services external to the host server, such as URLs or external databases in the cloud.").
