...
- Less impact on the agents and thereby on the monitored application. (No waiting time for sending)
- Less network overhead because of the higher flexibility regarding data forwarding to the CMR
- More flexibility regarding data processing. For example some preparation or preprocessing could be done on the IMR
Disadvantages:
- More servers (repositories) would be needed
- Probably higher setup effort for the monitoring environment
Topology 2
All agents are connected directly to one CMR.
