clearing opsmgr agent cache from the console …

i just ran across this.  could be deeply embedded or something or not well advertised.  anyway, here’s the navigation path if you want to flush the health service state and cache from an agent via the console.

first of all, navigate to the agent health state view. 

[monitoring / operations manager / agent / agent health state ]

you’ll see two panes at this point: agent state from health service watcher and agent state.  we only care about the agent state pane.  click on the agent that you’re going to send the missile.  in your actions pane, you will see “flush health service state and cache”.
