The following are key processes used by Security Agent for UNIX to validate the Agent services installation:
|
Key process |
Description |
|---|---|
|
VigilEntAgent |
UNIX Agent Manager uses this process to communicate with the common components of the Agent. This process should run continuously after the Agent is installed. Agent also uses this process to run security checks and perform baselining for Sentinel, Change Guardian, and Secure Configuration Manager. |
|
detectd |
Sentinel and Change Guardian use this process to perform monitoring tasks and data retrieval. The behavior of this process is directed by the content of the detect.xml file. |
|
uvserv |
Secure Configuration Manager database and the Log Management database use this process to communicate with Agent. Each connection spawns a uvserv process that performs the operation or sends a request to the VigilEntAgent process to perform the operation. The connection remains open until the requesting database receives data. |
|
Nqmagt |
This process monitors the status of the other Agent processes and restarts them if necessary. This process should run continuously after the Agent is installed. |
