Steps to add Agent-Local OS monitored servers through asset management
Introduction
From Entuity v23.0 upwards, you can locally monitor Windows and Linux operating systems using an Entuity Agent.
Note, you must install and configure an Entuity Agent on the target server before you can monitor the operating system. See How do I install, register, and uninstall Entuity Agents on Windows? and How do I install, register, and uninstall Entuity Agents on Linux? articles for information on how to install and configure an Entuity Agent.
Agent-Local OS monitoring is supported for these operating systems:
- Windows Server 2019
- Windows Server 2022
- Windows Server 2025
- RedHat Enterprise Linux ES version 8
- RedHat Enterprise Linux ES version 9
- Oracle Linux 8
- Oracle Linux 9
Monitored objects and attributes
Agent-Local OS monitoring monitors the same type of components, and uses the same dashboards, as the SSH/WinRM versions of monitoring. The following matrix lists the monitored component types and attributes for each monitoring version.

How to add an Agent-Local OS monitored server
On the Managed Assets page, click Add Asset at the top of the page or from the Overflow Menu.
Note, you must first install and register an Entuity Agent on the target server that you want to locally monitor. For information about installing an Entuity Agent, see this article for Windows and this article for Linux.
The Add Asset form is displayed. Depending on your choice, the form can contain the following sections:
- Management Level
- Asset Details
- Hardware Monitoring
- OS Monitoring
- Agent Monitoring
- Config Management
- User Defined Monitoring
- Advanced Settings
Steps to add Agent-Local OS monitored servers through asset management:
- In the Management Level section of the Add Asset form, select Server from the Asset Category dropdown field.
The Management Level field will be set to Full by default. - From the Asset Type dropdown field, select OS Only.
- In the Asset Details section, use the the Zone dropdown field to specify the zone to which the device will be added.
- Specify a PolledName/IP Address for the server.
- From the Display Name Using dropdown field, select how you want the device to be displayed in the product:
- Polled Name/IP address - displays the identifier it uses to poll the device, as specified in the Polled Name/IP address field. This is the default.
- IP Address - management IP address of the device.
- Resolved Name - resolved name of the device.
- Resolved Name (fully qualified) - fully qualified resolved name of the device.
- Custom - manually enter a device display name.
- In the OS Monitoring section, choose Linux (local) or Windows (local) from the Connection Method dropdown field.
-
In the OS Monitoring section, click the Credential field, choose None from the Credential Type dropdown field, and then click Done.
Note, a username and password are not needed, as the Entuity Agent will connect to the server and monitor the operating system.
- Under the Agent Monitoring section, click the Agent field and select the Entuity Agent that is to be monitored.
- Click Done, and then click Done again to save the asset.
