Allow SolarWinds Agent to collect/send data that other SolarWinds products can use.

SolarWinds agents are easier to configure for remote servers but are limited in the collected info. Can the SolarWinds agent be enabled to collect data for other SolarWinds products like VMAN? It would simplify collecting info (making things more secure) and enable using other SolarWinds licenses more easily (more value).

Maybe it's possible... An agent installed on a remote HyperV host can do VMAN monitoring if it is set to basic polling instead of VMAN (very counterintuitive though...)

To change an agent to basic polling -> All Settings -> Virtualization Settings -> HyperV settings -> Select node -> Change Polling Method dropdown from VMAN to Basic
After that, the HyperV host and vms should appear in the Virtualization/VMAN screens.
