How does Agentless feature work?
The Agentless event monitoring feature has been added into the EventTracker framework. This is in addition to the Agent based monitoring. Agentless monitoring of a system can be done from the Client Manager utility that is used for Agent deployment. In the wizard that assists in installation one of the steps is to choose between Agent Based & Agentless monitoring. For Agentless monitoring the user has to provide a login information that will have administrative privileges on all the systems selected for Agentless monitoring. Agentless monitoring is done on a periodic polling method, hence is NOT real-time. If real time monitoring is of importance then please opt for Agent based monitoring. Agentless monitoring provides only basic functionality, hence you will only receive events that have been logged in the respective systems event log by the OS or applications that are running on it. All the custom EventTracker events will not be available from such systems.
