Managing Agents

An agent is a module that collects performance values, logs, and Windows events from the monitoring target. To use the monitoring function, users must check the installation status of the agent and operate and manage it.

Note
  • If IP access control is set for the monitoring target, agent management cannot be used. If agent management is not available, check the IP access control setting status of the selected monitoring target.
  • The agent management function uses the sudo command, so the sudo package must be installed in advance.

Agent Management Overview

There are performance collection agents, log collection agents, and Windows event log collection agents.

  • Agents must be installed manually by the user on the monitoring target according to their needs.
