Version:	2.1.0.1060	OS:	Any
Assigned to:	Darren Oldag	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
We have had some agent bugs that are time related, specially related to when the service manager issues a resync command.

It would make it easier to debug if we had some way to force a rezync, other than restarting tomcat.

I don;t even need a UI link, using the rest api would be enough

How to repeat:
There is no way to repeat this :)

please decide if we need the 'hard reset' of a full agent resync cycle, or if the current patches 'soft reset' (just ask for inventory again) is good enough.

Review okay by me. I know Leith wanted different wording on the link. Leith, ball's in your court.

All looks good to me. 

I've supplied a suggested patch to Oldag that renames "refresh" to "re-inventory now", as this is consistent to our wording in the global settings page on top of this as well.

refresh link is there, patch is approved.

if someone wants to change verbage, re-open and re-assign to "any idiot server dev" or just create a new issue.

Verified fixed on 2.1.0.1078

One way to see this working is by monitoring one mysqld, keep the agent running while you upgrade the mysqld to a newer version, without clicking on the new refresh link, the new mysqld version does not show on the metadata (Main Monitor page)

An entry was added to the 2.1.0 changelog:

There was no way to force the Agent to resynch with the Service Manager. A link has now been added. The link can be found on the Settings, Manage Servers page - click the context menu next to a server, the menu now contains a Refresh item.
