Creating an agent

A KUMA agent consists of two parts: one part is created inside the KUMA web interface, and the second part is installed on a server or on an asset in the network infrastructure.

An agent is created in several steps:

1. Creating a set of resources for the agent in the KUMA web interface
2. Creating an agent service in the KUMA web interface
3. Installing the server portion of the agent to the asset that will forward messages

A KUMA agent for Windows assets can be created automatically when you create a collector with the wmi or wec transport type. Although the set of resources and service of these agents are created in the Collector Installation Wizard, they must still be installed to the asset that will be used to forward a message.
