This documentation describes the operation and architecture of the Monsta Agent, a tool to extend the monitoring of your platform to remote and distributed networks, ensuring performance and security through the QUIC protocol.

Agent Installation for Windows

Download the agent program:

While logged in as a user with administrator permissions, run the installer “agent.msi”.
When prompted, enter the Monsta license key for the Monsta instance you want the agent to connect to.

Device Creation

Once installation is complete, the Agent will automatically appear on the Configuration screen under Agents with the host identification. The monitored device will be created and listed instantly on the Devices screen with the same host name and ready for configuration and addition of new monitors.

How to Monitor Devices via the Agent Connection

To cover the entire remote network with a single agent, register the new devices in Monsta and set the device to be under the hierarchy of the host where the Agent is installed.

Hierarchy Example:

Installation via the command line

The agent.msi installer supports command-line parameters for automation. Integrated with the msiexec utility, it allows installation via GPO, eliminating the need for manual intervention in the graphical interface.

Command-line options:


`LICENSEKEY=\[license key\]`	Provides the license key that the Agent should connect to.
`AGREE=\[Y\]`	Confirms acceptance of the terms of use.
