Read MoreMonitoring systems acquire information from various devices in different ways: API, SNMP, syslog, etc. One of the most important methods in Icinga-based systems like NetEye is the Icinga Agent. This agent is installed on each server and collects and sends information to the master NetEye node using secure protocols. When we work within a small…
