2.5 Agent Manager

Agent Manager provides host-based data collection that complements agentless data collection, by allowing you to perform the following tasks:

  • Access logs that are not available through the network.

  • Operate in tightly-controlled network environments.

  • Improve security posture by limiting attack surface on critical servers.

  • Provide enhanced reliability of data collection during times of network interruption.

Agent Manager allows you to deploy agents, manage agent configuration, and also acts as a collection point for events flowing into Sentinel. For more information about Agent Manager, see the Agent Manager documentation.
