Background
Xpolog site A intends to retrieve logs from different locations within site B. Due to the company's information security policy, access to site B is restricted. To address this, an agent is employed to gather logs across all sections of site B. Xpolog talks with the agent to extract logs, ensuring the required access level is maintained.
what is the Agent?
An agent is an instance of XpoLog that takes on the role of an agent.
When it becomes an agent, it transforms into a thin simple version that doesn't store data. other
Other regular xpolog installations (like a XPLG Cluster) can ask the agent for logs and data. the
The agents will provide that data and logs from various sources like PCs and servers.
In this approach, the XpoLog Cluster doesn't require permissions to directly communicate with all sources or pull information from each source. Instead, it communicates solely with the agent.
The agent possesses the necessary permissions to interact with the sources and deliver the required information. This setup enhances security and reduces overall network traffic.
