The Agent is the foundation of the surveillance system and must be installed on all computers and servers that you want to monitor. The Agent monitors the availability, performance, and state of the computer server at regular intervals. XEOX can send you notifications when a critical system or resource has failed, has deteriorated, or has reached a predefined threshold parameter.
The reporting intervals are based on an extensive big data analysis, which ensures optimal timing of the notification. The Agent has a very low cost, which means it can run conveniently on devices with minimal specification, and it updates automatically when a new version is released. There is no limit or cost to the number of agents that can be installed.
The Agent can be installed on the following operating systems:
- Windows 7
- Windows 8
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 10
- Windows 11
- Windows Server 2008
- Windows Server 2012
- Windows Server 2016
- Windows Server 2019
- Windows Server 2022
Important: You don't need a .NET Framework for the agent
This article describes the how to install the agent. In case you need to install the agent on more than one device and don't want to do it manually, please read the following:
1. Download Agent
Download the latest stable Agent:
2. Install on your Windows Machines
If you execute the Installer without any parameters, a wizard will guide you through the Installation. This is the recommended way for your first Agent installation.
Later you will probably install the Agent in unattended mode. This can be done with the /S parameter (Uppercase S for silent installation). With the /U parameter (Uppercase U for upgrade), the Installer will check if an Agent is already installed and install only in case of an older Agent or no Agent.
In bigger Environments, you probably prefer to roll out the Agent with a Group Policy.
3. Take a look at your hardware
The Agent is creating the hardware Object in the CMDB. A few minutes after installation you should see your hardware.

A few minutes after a new installation the Agent is fetching Inventory and Windows Update statistics. This would be visualized in the Update Center.
Uninstall Agent
Open Windows "Add or remove programs" and search for XEOX Agent. In the context menu you can uninstall the Agent.
