- 10. agent-optional coverage
› Easily monitor local or remote systems
» Agent-less monitoring
- collects information from “black
box” systems such as hypervisors,
SAN storage systems, network devices,
SaaS, and cloud environments where no
agents are permitted
» Agent-based monitoring
- provides a more detailed system view. In addition, the agent-
based architecture provides spooling of performance data in
disconnected environments so no data is ever lost. The average
Nimsoft Monitor data collector is less than 10MB in size, and
consumes less than 1% of CPU usage
