Server Agent Diagnostic

Overview of the server agent

The server agent is Kabeen's infrastructure agent for Windows, Linux and IBM i. It autonomously collects metrics and inventory information through an HTTPS channel authenticated with a tenant-bound API key. The server agent runs as a service and does not receive downstream commands from the platform.

Architecture and components

The agent is made of several modules:

• A main collection and coordination component
• A dedicated module for system metrics collection
• Configuration and authentication services
• A centralized logging system

Configuration and initialization

The server agent configuration covers the following items:

• The API key used to authenticate with the platform
• The organizational scope parameters (structure and team membership)
• The outbound connection parameters (proxy, etc.)

On Windows, some settings such as the log level are defined via registry keys.

Logging

The server agent logs are stored locally on the server. They are the first source of information for diagnostics.
