Introduction to Remote Monitoring and Management Module
Comodo Remote Monitoring and Management (CRMM) grants Managed Service Providers complete visibility and control over the systems they manage. It combines comprehensive endpoint monitoring and alerting with ultra-fast remote desktop sharing, professional services automation (PSA), powerful policy and job creation interfaces, automatic support ticket generation and custom scripting for automated break-fixing. RMM is the single-pane-of-glass that helps MSPs and enterprises to improve the efficiency of their workflows and take the quality of service they provide to customers to the next level.
Comodo RMM setup and management involves two components - the admin console and the endpoint agent.
-
The admin console is the chief management software and is used to monitor endpoints, define policies and configure/respond to endpoint service desk tickets. The console should be installed on a local workstation or server and can be downloaded from the ITSM.
- The endpoint agent is a small piece of software installed on managed endpoints for communication with the admin console. The agent is responsible for forwarding the monitored data from the endpoints to the console and to apply policies/running procedures at the endpoints. The endpoint agent is automatically installed on each endpoint upon its enrollment to ITSM, so that it is automatically added to the RMM console for management. For more details on adding Windows endpoints to ITSM, refer to the online help page at https://help.comodo.com/topic-399-1-786-10126-Enrolling-User-Devices-for-Management.html.
Also, you can manually install the agent at an endpoint if needed, from the ITSM console. For details, refer to the online help page at https://help.comodo.com/topic-399-1-786-10139-Remotely-Installing-Packages-onto-Windows-Devices.html.
