Systemwalker Service Quality Coordinator uses an agent function installed on a managed server to collect information. The information collected by each Agent is then managed collectively by a Manager. The following table explains different installation types.
Installation types | Function |
|---|---|
Enterprise Manager | Centrally manages the Managers located in each section. It can manage large-scale systems by constructing Managers in two tiers and performing load distribution. (Enterprise Edition only) |
Manager | Collectively manages the information collected by Agents and Proxy Manager. Manager can also act as servers for receiving information collected by Browser Agents and monitoring the operational status of services (HTTP/S, DNS, SMTP, or any port). |
Proxy Manager | Provides relay functions between Managers and Agents. If Managers and Agents have been separated by a firewall, site security can be enhanced by placing a Proxy Manager (which relays communications between Managers and Agents) on the site where the Agents reside. Proxy Managers also substitute for the role (normally performed by Managers) of the server that receives information collected by Browser Agents and monitors the operational status of services (HTTP/S, DNS, SMTP, any port). |
Operation Management Client | Connects to a Manager or Enterprise Manager to provide console functions for management and control. As well as being able to operate from a machine where an operation management client is installed, the person conducting operation management can also use a Web browser to connect to an operation management client from another machine to perform management operations. |
Agent for Server | Manages resource information within servers. |
Agent for Business | Manages resources relating to the following business systems, in addition to the Agent for Server functions: Web servers Application servers Database servers |
Browser Agent | Uses information about an end user accessing a Web server to measure the response actually felt by the end user. Only Windows can be used as the operation platform. |
Note that there is also an agent for Agentless Monitoring that can monitor remotely from the Manager. This agent for Agentless Monitoring function is included with the Manager/Proxy Manager.
