An agentless monitoring solution collects data from endpoints without requiring software to be installed on each device. It typically uses existing protocols (like SNMP, WMI, or SSH) to gather information remotely. Client-based solution requires an installed agent or client on each endpoint. Open port refers to network services listening for connections, not monitoring methodology. File-based solution monitors files or file changes and usually requires local access or an agent.
Agentless monitoring does not require the installation of software on the target device. It uses standard protocols to collect information, making it less intrusive and less resource intensive.
