Agents
An agent is a program or software designed to run autonomously and independently on an operating system such as Windows, Debian or RedHat. Its purpose is to establish an interaction with the system, to extract information from the computer on which it is installed (hardware, software, or processes that are running).
Once the information is collected, the agent will send it to a specific address in a secure and authenticated manner using Tokens, ensuring that only the authorized recipient can access the data.
From this section the user is able to register, manage and link Agents and Tokens.
