Adding monitor service to a site server
You use monitor service on a site server to perform agentless monitoring. Monitor service is installed on the Notification Server computer by default. You can also add monitor service to one or more site servers.
See About agentless monitoring.
See About monitor service.
Before you can add monitor service to a site server, the following components must be installed on that server:
Symantec Management Agent
Pluggable Protocols Architecture (PPA) client computer component
Credential manager client computer component
Credential manager client computer component is installed when you install Pluggable Protocols Architecture (PPA) client computer component. After Pluggable Protocols Architecture (PPA) and credential manager are installed, wait until the Symantec Management Agent sends inventory information before adding a monitor service.
See Setting up a remote monitoring site server.

You should only install monitor service on a computer that is secure and trusted. The security that is set up for the Notification Server computer must also apply to the site server computer. |
