Managing a PEM Agent

The PEM agent is responsible for implementing scheduled tasks on the PEM server on behalf of the server. The agent runs as a service (on Windows) or as a daemon (on Linux). The PEM server installer automatically installs and configures an agent that is responsible for monitoring the PEM server; you can use the PEM agent installer to add additional agents.
