What types of agents are there?
- EndPoint: It is a small piece of software installed on a machine with an operating system that remains running on it, extracting information through local or remote extraction tools and sending it to the Pandora FMS server regularly. This installation is carried out individually on each computer using an installer, either manually or automatically.
- Remote Agent: Simply called "agent", it is installed remotely through the Pandora FMS Web Console, pointing to an IP address reachable by the machine where the Pandora FMS server is installed. On this agent, we can only use remote extraction tools.
It is important to be clear about the difference between the agents: the EndPoint is a local agent owned by the machine with which local and remote monitoring can be performed, while the remote agent is a logical agent with which only remote monitoring can be performed.
