Data collection
Agents, SNMP and twelve other source types feed one collection engine with thresholds, templates and long-term storage.
What it does
- Agents for Linux, Windows, AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, FreeBSD and macOS with 47+ subagents
- SNMP v1, v2c and v3 with MIB browser and bulk walks
- SSH, web services, MQTT, OPC UA, Modbus TCP, JMX, WMI, database queries
- ICMP, TCP and script-based checks in NXSL
- Push metrics from applications through the agent or the REST API
- Templates apply collection settings to thousands of nodes at once
- Thresholds with activation and deactivation events, rearm and repeat
- Storage classes: raw, aggregated, or no storage for status-only items
- Time-series backends: built-in tables or TimescaleDB
- Instance discovery for interfaces, disks, processes and services
