Local agent

Local agent

The local agent runs inside your network and reports out, for estates that cannot be reached from outside: an air-gapped environment, or a private cloud with no inbound path.

How it works

You run the agent on a host that can reach the estate. It polls locally and sends results outbound to Blueprintr. There is no inbound connection, so no firewall rule permitting traffic into your network is required.

Credentials stay put

Credentials for a locally-polled estate are held on-premises by the agent and are never sent to Blueprintr. Setting up the agent never asks you to paste them into a hosted form.

What it sends

The polled resource inventory, the same data a hosted poll produces. The same scope decisions apply.

Operating it

The agent is versioned and updated separately from the platform, and is distributed for you to run on infrastructure you control. Your account contact provides it along with the enrolment credentials.
