vFoglight Agent Manager
New in the 5.2.4 release of vFoglight, the vFoglight Agent Manager is the next
generation vFoglight component for managing and communicating with agents.
The vFoglight Agent Manager manages certain types of agents installed on monitored
hosts. It provides a centralized communications link between the vFoglight
Management Server and these agents and manages the agents’ life cycles. The
vFoglight Agent Manager also provides a number of support services such as
deployment, upgrade, and the ability to configure agents.
See the Administration and Configuration Guide for more information.
