The Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Monitoring Station is a system running the Data Collector (also referred to as the up.time Uptime Core), and a Web server.

• The Data Collector is software that retrieves performance metrics and other information from Elements. Uptime Infrastructure Monitor's Elements include systems, virtual machines and network devices, and metrics and information and retrieved either through installed Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Agents, or by using an existing framework such as WMI or SNMP.
• The self-contained Web server allows administrators and end users to configure Uptime Infrastructure Monitor, as well as access its reports.

...

Although agentless monitoring is supported, you can also use Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Agents to retrieve detailed performance metrics (such as CPU, memory, process, disk, and network usage) from systems that you are monitoring. Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Agents can also securely and remotely execute programs; for example, the Windows Agent can start and stop services, and reboot the system. Install an Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Agent on each monitored system whose metrics are not collected by some agentless method. Agents support a variety of operating systems. For more information about supported platforms for an agent, see Supported Agent Platforms. For more information about supported platforms when using agentless monitoring, see Supported Platforms via Agentless Monitoring.

Controller

The up.time Uptime Controller provides access to the API, which gives Uptime Infrastructure Monitor users access to inventories of monitored objects at various organizational levels, as well as their respective statuses. This type of information can be used to, for example, build custom dashboards.
