The Inventory Server obtains and displays inventory information on the systems: installed software, hardware item model, hard disks, services running on the system, etc. It can obtain this information both [[http://:fr:documentation:01_understanding:03_glossary#software_agent|locally]] and remotely.

It is installed separately from the main Pandora FMS server and allows the forwarding of data files from the [[:en:documentation:pandorafms:introduction:03_glossary#agente_software|Software Agents]] to the main server, acting as agent proxy in [[:en:documentation:pandorafms:complex_environments_and_optimization:05_satellite|distributed topologies]]. It sends the monitoring data as XML files through a Tentacle connection, so it does not require a connection to the database.

It is important to differentiate between two concepts: **Agent**, or Console Agent, as a container, and **EndPoint**, which runs on a computer.

Pandora FMS で単純に「エージェント」と言った場合、それはウェブコンソールで作成したモニタ・管理対象を指します。それは、モジュールのグループ(または個々のモニタリング要素)に関連付けられています。そのため、このエージェントは、(オプションで) 1つ以上の IP アドレスに関連付けることが可能です。

The **agent **can contain remote or local modules. Remote modules are run by those servers that obtain information [[:en:documentation:03_monitoring:03_remote_monitoring|remotely]] (e.g. Network server) and local modules are run by Software Agents and collected and processed by the [[http://:en:documentation:01_understanding:02_architecture#data_server|Data Server]].

An **Agent** can contain remote type or local type Modules. Remote type modules are executed by those servers that obtain information from [[:en:documentation:pandorafms:monitoring:03_remote_monitoring|remotely]] (eg Network server); the local type modules are executed by the EndPoints and collected and processed by the [[:en:documentation:pandorafms:introduction:02_architecture#servidor_de_datos|Data Server]].
Software agents are installed on computers to be monitored locally, retrieving the information from the computer itself. They are mainly used in servers for monitoring machine resources (CPU, RAM, disks…) and installed applications (MySQL, Apache, JBoss…). Generally speaking, server and equipment monitoring will be carried out with software agents, while network equipment monitoring will be done remotely without any software installation.

* Network access for **agent based monitoring**. In this network, Pandora FMS server can be reached from the software agents installed on monitored machines.

* Accessible network for **Agent-based monitoring**: where, from the EndPoints installed on the monitored machines, they can reach the Pandora FMS server without problems.
* **Software agents without access to a Pandora FMS Server**: In this case, the proxy characteristics of software agents is used or either a Satellite Server as a software agent proxy.

* **EndPoints that do not have access to the Pandora FMS server**: This case uses the EndPoints proxy feature or a Satellite server as EndPoints proxy.
