Advantages of Remote Monitoring
Remote Monitoring involves agent-less rather than agent-based technology and there are advantages to both strategies. Use this information when deciding whether to use RM or deployed agents.
RM offers the following benefits:
- Costs less to set up, configure, and deploy
- Simplifies software upgrades and maintenance
- Deploys quickly and is less intrusive on the monitored environment
- Utilizes fewer resources on the managed server
A deployed agent offers the following benefits:
- Provides more detailed data and higher levels of functionality for the monitored servers and applications
- Requires less network bandwidth to operate
- Provides a higher degree of scalability, scaling to thousands of servers
- Continues to monitor server health and conduct data gathering when network connections are unavailable (as agent can work autonomously)
- Provides stronger command and control functions over the managed servers
