MonitorWare Echo Reply¶
The Echo Reply service is used on each of the installed EventReporter/ MonitorWare Agent. A central agent running the MonitorWare Agent is using the echo request and instructs to poll each of the other EventReporter/MonitorWare Agent services. When the request is not carried out successfully, an alert is generated. The MonitorWare echo protocol ensures that always a fresh probe of the remote EventReporter/MonitorWare Agent Service is done.
