Agent-specific installation and configuration
In addition to the installation and configuration information in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation and Setup Guide, use this agent-specific installation and configuration information to install the Agentless Monitor for Windows.
The Agentless Monitor for Windows has two different options that can be configured to remotely collect metrics from the operating system:
- Windows APIs
- Windows SNMP service
The Windows APIs use Windows credentials to remotely collect metrics from the WMI namespace for the remote system, perfmon, and Windows Event Log data sources.
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can also be used to remotely collect metrics. SNMP Version 1, SNMP Version 2c, or SNMP Version 3 can be used, depending on the configuration of the Windows operating system.
- Configuration values
For both local and remote configuration, you provide the configuration values for the agent to operate.
- Remote installation and configuration
You can install the monitoring agent remotely from the Tivoli Enterprise Portal or from the command line.
