How Do I Install the Agent (in Windows OS)?
After you add a security group rule, download and install the agent on a database or application, depending on the add mode you chose. Database audit can be enabled only if the audited object is connected to the database audit instance.
To install the agent on a Windows OS, perform the following operations.
Prerequisites
- You have added an agent to your database.
- You have obtained the agent installation package for the Windows OS.
- The Windows OS version of the target node is supported by the agent.

- If Npcap has been installed on the Windows OS, go to 2.
