Can I have Agents on Linux but Controller on Windows?

I need to monitor a JVM on a 64 bit Linux server which is our Production middleware server.

But I'd like to install the AD Controller on a separate machine. There happens to be a Windows machine available that I could use to run the Controller. Is it possible that I could have the AD Agent installed on the Linux box and the Controller on the Windows machine?

Hi Mike,

Yes, we confirm you can agent on server running on Linux machine(machine1) when controller running on windows machine(machine2), you just need to provide the windows machine host(contorller host and port ) details in <agent_dir>/conf/controller-info.xml file

and also make sure that linux machine can ping to controller-host and port running on windows machine.

Hope that answers your query.

Regards,

Arun

Great. It's nice to have that option in case i cannot get the Sys Admin to make a new Linux VM for me.

Thanks!
