The Orion platform supports agent-based monitoring for Windows, Linux/Unix, and AIX systems. An Orion agent is software that provides a communication channel between the Orion server and the target system, as an alternative to WMI or SNMP. Agent-based monitoring can offer better performance, security, and reliability than agentless monitoring, especially for remote or cloud-based systems. The Orion platform does not support agent-based monitoring for Sun Solaris or IBM systems, as they are not compatible with the agent software.
