MSPs and IT teams shoulder heavy responsibilities when it comes to keeping a business running. They’re the silent guardians who work around the clock to ensure things don’t break, networks are steady and snappy, and work keeps chugging along smoothly.
To make this a reality, you need powerful tools at your disposal, and advanced monitoring agents is a crucial part of them. But what is an advanced monitoring tool? How does it work, and what value does it bring to the table? Should you buy a network monitoring tool?
We’ve got you covered, as we help answer all those questions and more in this comprehensive guide about advanced monitoring agents.
Let’s start with the basic question.
What is an advanced monitoring agent?
An Advanced Monitoring Agent is a fine-tuned piece of software that helps Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT service providers manage devices such as servers, workstations, and other network devices through continuous monitoring and delivering real-time asset information to technicians to simplify troubleshooting and ensure high uptime. It’s a critical component of network management that equips MSPs and IT teams with dynamic insights and info to help work run smoothly and keep clients happy.
SuperOps’ modern Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) is driven by an advanced monitoring agent that captures broad and granular metrics alike to ensure that no issue slips through the cracks and that MSPs are kept in the loop at all times.
The Advanced Monitoring Agent in SuperOps’ RMM is remotely deployed onto the devices that the MSP or IT service team would like to monitor. Once the Advanced Monitoring Agent is installed on the asset, it then starts collecting a wide range of asset metrics and then transmits them to the technician’s workstation in real-time. Unless the asset is switched off or disconnected from the internet, the Advanced Monitoring Agent delivers information without skipping a beat, ensuring that you always have visibility into the health of an asset.
On top of this, these agents simplify the maintenance and management of devices at scale by automating a multitude of routine tasks to boost productivity and keep systems running smoothly without manual intervention.
With RMMs powered by advanced monitoring, MSPs and IT teams are fully equipped to support the remote workforce of the future by:
Fixing issues through remote access solutions and background tools
Constantly monitoring for issues through conditional and intelligent alerting and immediately notifying technicians
Schedule patch updates and software deployment across sites
Auto-deploy antivirus and data backup to the network through the monitoring agent
