Orion Agent

Is it possible for an Orion Agent to be used as a relay to monitor devices on the same subnet? We have cameras on a subnet that is behind a firewall that we would like to monitor.

I don't think so but I am hoping that maybe we can, otherwise we will just open up ICMP and SNMP for our orion cluster to talk to the subnet.

Thanks

The Agent is only designed for polling only the device it is installed on.

To monitor multiple devices the Additional Polling Engine is designed to be used in this fashion. You can deploy an Additional Polling Engine to carry over the licenses from the Main server to extend into limited networks.

I was 99.9% sure that was the case, however I was hoping someone had a trick out there

thanks

I think you could do some limited monitoring of other devices but it would be dependent on your scripting skills and other software you have installed on the computer with the agent. I use the Agent to run a proxy ping script so that I can test reachability from that devices perspective. I would imagine you could more than this, just haven't had a need to at the moment.

@Johnny Ringo, I would love to hear about this. We are just trying to ping security cameras, nothing else.
