Virtual Agents

Virtual Agents are Windows systems monitored remotely from the ELM Server, without installing software on the monitored system.

Note
When monitoring Windows systems with a high level of security auditing enabled, then additional security events will be created as the ELM Server authenticates to the Window system and gathers data.
