Managing Agents

The agent is a module that collects performance metrics, logs, and Windows events from the monitoring target. Users must verify the agent’s installation status and operate and manage it in order to use the monitoring functionality.

Caution
  • If IP access control is configured for the monitoring target, you cannot use agent management. If agent management cannot be used, check the IP access control configuration status of the selected monitoring target.
  • The agent management feature uses the sudo command, so the sudo package must be installed in advance.

Agent Management Overview

The agents include a performance collection agent, a log collection agent, and a Windows event log collection agent.

  • The agent must be manually installed by the user on each monitoring target according to the user’s requirements.
