Q: What is the impact on the machine’s CPU/Memory usage?
A. It will be Minimal and monitored by the Watchdog service/process. The Cloudamize Linux Agent requires 3% of CPU and 5% of memory while running. The Cloudamize windows Machine Agent requires .2% of available CPU and 3% of memory while running.
Q: If a machine has multiple IP addresses, how does the Cloudamize agent know which IP to use?
A. We choose the numerically lowest private IP address of those returned by the query to display on the portal. So eg:, if one is 169.254.x.x and another is 169.254.x.x+1, we will display 169.254.x.x in the portal.
Q: Is there a specific port needed for linux machines to communicate with an ADC?
A. Yes, for each Linux endpoint that needs to communicate with the Cloudamize Agentless Data Collector (ADC), TCP port 22 needs to be opened inbound. This is required for the ADC to access the Linux servers over SSH.
