Are ICAgent and UniAgent the Same?

ICAgent is a plug-in, but UniAgent is not.

  • UniAgent is an Agent for unified data collection and serves as the base of the cloud service O&M system. It delivers instructions, such as script delivery and execution, and integrates plug-ins (such as ICAgent, Cloud Eye, and Telescope) and maintains their status. UniAgent provides middleware and custom metric collection capabilities, and provides operations channels for Cloud Operations Center (COC) and Cloud Auto Stress Test (CAST).

    UniAgent does not collect O&M data; instead, collection plug-ins do that.

  • ICAgent collects metrics and logs for AOM and LTS.
