Linux Agent installation

Linux servers often run the most critical applications. Proactive monitoring leads to increased uptime and faster fault resolution. The Linux Agent adds monitoring, alerting and reporting on the status of the Linux servers to the N-sight RMM user interface.

Before you install the Agent, ensure you have allowed access to the required URLs. For more information, see Network Connectivity Requirements.

The Linux Agent collects all the hardware and software information from the server and uploads it to the N-sight RMM user interface. The collected information is available in the Asset Tracking section under the Client and site where the device is registered. All Linux Agent installations are server installations and all Linux servers display in the Server and Mixed sections of the All Devices view.
