Agents

There are two types of agents within OSPatrol: installable agents and agentless agents. Installable agents are installed on hosts, and they report back to a central OSPatrol server via the OSPatrol encrypted message protocol. Agentless agents require no installation on remote hosts. They are processes initiated from the OSPatrol manager, which gather information from remote systems, and use any RPC method (e.g. ssh, snmp rdp, wmi).
