Monitoring tools that use agents offer excellent, detailed visibility into server and application behavior. But agents
can be difficult to distribute, often consume server CPU and memory resources, and can be another point of failure within

reduced risk of crashing a server and easier deployment make it a compelling and tempting choice.
