Configuring the Remote Agent to Obtain the Inside View of VMs

To obtain the inside view of a VM, the eG VM monitor uses a lightweight monitoring component called the eG VM Agent, which is installed inside each of the VMs. The eG VM Agent can be best described as a software that can be installed on the virtual machines of a virtual infrastructure to allow a single eG agent to obtain an inside view of these VMs, without domain administrator privileges.

To enable the eG agent to pull metrics from the eG VM agent, you should do the following:

  • Install the eG VM Agent on each VM;

  • Configure the eG remote agent to communicate with the eG VM agent and pull metrics
