7.0 Configuring Agent-Based Data Collection

Agent Manager provides host-based data collection that complements agentless data collection by allowing you to:

  • Access logs not available from 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 act as a collection point for events flowing into Sentinel. For more information about Agent Manager, see the Agent Manager documentation.
