If the up.time Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Linux Agent is managed by xinetd (default option), it is possible to limit access to the Agent with xinetd's "only_from" parameter. Setting only_from parameter to the up.time Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Monitoring Station hostname or IP address will restrict any other system from issuing requests to the up.time Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Agent.
To implement, update the /etc/xinetd.d/uptimeagent configuration file and add the following line at the end (above the closing curly bracket).

/etc/init.d/xinetd restart |
Now, only the up.time Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Monitoring Station system can access the up.time Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Agent.
