Collectors

InfraSonar collectors collect monitoring data to be parsed by the InfraSonar cloud platform.

All our general purpose collectors are available as open-source on our GitHub page.

Using the provided libraries third parties can easily add additional collectors to our platform.

Collection concepts

InfraSonar identities three collection concepts to gather data from monitored assets.

• Agents run autonomously on a monitored asset and send data directly the to InfraSonar platform
• Probes are most often deployed on an appliance and are orchestrated by an agentcore
  Probes are typically used for agentless monitoring scenario's.
• Services collect data "as a service".
