System Center Operations Manager Agent 6.0.5000.0

System Center Operations Manager Agent is a piece of software developed by Microsoft that allows monitoring and management of systems and applications within an IT infrastructure.

The main purpose of the agent is to collect data from monitored systems, send it to the Operations Manager server for analysis, and execute actions based on provided management packs.

The agent is installed on the systems to be monitored. It collects performance and event data, and then sends it to the Operations Manager server using various communication protocols such as SNMP or WinRM.

The agent can monitor various system components, including servers, network devices, databases, applications, and virtual environments. It can collect performance metrics, track events and logs, and run scripts or perform actions based on predefined rules.

Yes, multiple agents can be installed on a single system to monitor different aspects or for redundancy purposes. Each agent operates independently and sends data to the Operations Manager server individually.

Yes, there are versions of the agent available for both Windows and non-Windows platforms. Microsoft provides agents for Linux, UNIX, and some network devices to expand monitoring capabilities across heterogeneous environments.

Yes, the agent can be managed remotely using the Operations Manager console or PowerShell cmdlets. This allows for centralized management and configuration of agent settings across multiple systems.

To deploy the agent, it needs to be installed on the target system using either manual installation or automated deployment methods like Group Policy, System Center Configuration Manager, or scripting. After installation, it needs to be configured with the necessary server connection details.

Yes, the agent can be extended to collect custom data and metrics by creating custom management packs or utilizing management pack templates provided by Microsoft. This allows monitoring of specific applications or systems not covered by default monitoring scenarios.

The System Center Operations Manager Agent is part of the broader System Center suite offered by Microsoft. The cost varies depending on the licensing model chosen, such as per-core or per-server. Please refer to Microsoft's licensing documentation for specific pricing details.
