A: Windows/Linux agents are approximately 5KB to 40KB per 10 minutes.
Q
...
: Can I import the data rather than run an agent?
A. No. Cloudamize reads data from vCenter’s read-only APIs. For non-VMWare environment, Cloudamize provides a proprietary agent that can be installed for data collection and can be removed after the data collection period is completed.
Q: What is the methodology in obtaining the ‘Software Installed’ on each node? Is the Cloudamize Agent or ADC looking for EXE files, running processes, other methods?
A. The installed app list comes from the registry in Windows, basically, the list of apps that appear when you open add/remove programs. We use the rpm/deb database on Linux to list all packages installed on the system.
Q: Will Cloudamize continue using Admin to operate during assessment duration?
A. Yes, Cloudamize Windows Agent will continue to use SYSTEM account whenever it is running.
Q: Can customer provide custom role for necessary permission?
A. No, Cloudamize Windows Agent will use only SYSTEM account.
Q: Can all update, install and download functions be deactivated in the agents?
A. Agents do not automatically update, download or install once installed. This must be triggered by the customer manually.
Q: How does the distribution of the agents work? Which accounts and rights are used?
A. Agent software is provided as-is, our guides can be used. Mass-installation is not supported by Cloudamize, but commonly done by scripting, SCCM, etc.
Q: For ADC Where are credentials stored, Only on the data collector VM, or are they saved to Cloudamize in the console?
A. They are stored on C:\Program Files (x86)\CloudamizeAgentlessDC\HostInfo.xml or HostInfoBackup.xml, Only on the data collector VM
