GitHub user tomorrowshipyltm edited a discussion: How can we support
agent/agentless monitoring and active/passive modes?
Hello everyone, previously our team has used Zabbix. I would like to know how
to achieve the following features based on HertzBeat:
1. Support for both agent and agentless monitoring.
2. Agent-based monitoring with active and passive modes. In active mode, the
agent requests and receives monitoring configurations from the server, then
periodically collects and sends monitoring data to the server. For monitoring
thousands of machines, it is recommended to use the active mode to avoid
overwhelming the server. In passive mode, the agent receives data collection
requests from the server, collects the data, and sends it back to the server.
3. Agentless monitoring, where data is collected directly from the target host
using standard protocols such as SSH, HTTP, ICMP, etc.
4. Flexible deployment with the use of proxy intermediaries based on network
environment and cluster scale. For example, Zabbix's server-proxy-client
architecture is suitable for medium-sized network architectures spanning
multiple data centers or networks. The proxy acts as a communication bridge
between the server and client. It does not store data but temporarily holds the
data received from agents before submitting it to the server.
My understanding of the above issues:
1. If collector/push is used to support agents, then:
(1)The communication protocol and command interaction between the server
and agent can be complex. The push module might need to be separated, for
example, into health check and data request components.
(2)Active mode is not supported.
4. For flexible deployment, is it possible to use multiple collectors?
