Agentless Monitoring

  • Article

This section describes the performance impact of agentless monitoring on the MOM Management Server. The monitoring of 10 agentless computers per management server was tested and the load per computer used was higher than you would see in most environments.

Note

It is recommended that you limit the use of agentless monitoring and instead install the MOM agent to take advantage of the full monitoring functionality.
