Yes - that is the purpose of agentx if I am correct in assuming that the daemon is the process you have written that does the important work that you intend to monitor. > Idea is to avoid running another sub-agent process and > avoiding IPC between the demon and agentx. The demon is multi-threaded app. > Ideal to run the agentx sub agent in a new thread. This would turn the daemon in to an agentx subagent as well as a daemon but that should not be a problem.

The only problem is that there is no security in the agentx protocol so it is usually not recommended to run it that open. > Do you see any issue ?
