# Agents

Agents in Hashman are responsible for scanning the local network constantly for miners and performing the actions based on the mining profiles.

### Agents overview

* **Agent list**: All of your agents in a table list view
* **Status**: View current status of each agent, if the agent is scanning and functioning properly or if there is an error
* **Miners found**: How many miners the agent has found from the local network
* **Mode**: Read-only or normal - in read only mode agent will only query the miners and all mining profile-based automation is ignored. However, commands can be sent to an individual miner or multiple miners.

### Agents - Creating an agent

1. Navigate to the "Agents" view
2. Click "Create new agent"
3. Set the agent's parameters:
   * Name and alias (alias can be used in pool usernames)
   * Enable or disable read-only mode - in read only mode agent will only query the information of miners and all automation is ignored
   * Set the network scanning parameters
