The monitoring agent is a sophisticated tool designed to automatically perform
a wide range of tests in a network environment. Its purpose is to identify,
analyze and report on various types of issues related to the availability,
performance, functionality and security of endpoint devices and applications.
Thanks to its modular architecture, the agent can be easily adapted to specific
needs and extended with new tests. The agent includes various active tests that
are autonomously run and report results either to a central system or to a user
interface. These tests include verifying device availability using methods such
as ping or traceroute, measuring performance parameters such as throughput,
latency, and jitter, analyzing end-application behavior, and assessing the
security state of devices and applications using tests such as port scanning or
SSL configuration verification. Tests can be scheduled for periodic execution or
run ad hoc, with well-defined parameters that specify the test objectives and
expected outputs. During test execution, the agent collects data that is either
analyzed locally or sent to a central system for further processing. The results
are presented in a form that enables rapid diagnostics and supports
decision-making processes to improve the operation and security of the entire IT
infrastructure.
