4. How do we monitor Systems Today?
Agent based
Agentless - Agent based monitoring typically installs binaries and code on the local systems but can collect more information and leverage some of the local features. (Installed WMI framewaork, .NET, etc…) There is a local footprint.
- Agentless monitoring uses remote tests and can get limited information from the monitored system. The processing to gather this information is handled elsewhere than the monitored system.- Agent based monitoring typically installs binaries and code on the local systems but can collect more information and leverage some of the local features.
