Monitoring with the SL1 Agent
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.
