Monitoring with the SL1 Agent

Download this manual as a PDF file

The SL1 agent is a program that you can install on a device monitored by SL1. There is a Windows agent and a Linux agent. The agent collects data from the device and pushes that data back to SL1.

Similar to a Data Collector or Message Collector, the agent collects data about infrastructure and applications.

You can configure an agent to communicate with either the Message Collector or the Compute Cluster.

If your current ScienceLogic SL1 solution subscription does not include the SL1 agent, contact your ScienceLogic Customer Success Manager or Customer Support to learn more.

You can you can install an agnet on a number of operating systems from the Agents page (Devices > Agent). After installing the agent, you can configure the agent on the Device Investigator page for the device on which the agent is running:
