Axon Agents
Administrator permissions are required to access this feature.
Axon Agents perform on-premises log data collection. They are installed on an endpoint and collect logs from on-premises devices where cloud collection is not supported. Axon Agents currently support collection on both Windows and Linux platforms.
Users create an agent profile in Axon Integrations and specify what collections they want the Agent to perform. Upon creating the agent profile, users can download and install it on multiple devices to create Axon Agent collectors.
