Secure Agent services are pluggable microservices that the Secure Agent uses for data processing. Each Secure Agent service runs independently of the other services that run on the agent.
The independent services architecture provides the following benefits:
The Secure Agent does not restart when you add a connector or package.
Services are not impacted when another service restarts.
Downtime during upgrades is minimized. The upgrade process installs a new version of the Secure Agent, updates connector packages, and applies configuration changes for the services. To minimize downtime, the old agent remains available and continues to run ingestion jobs during the upgrade. The new version of the Secure Agent runs jobs that start after the upgrade process completes.
The services that run on a Secure Agent vary based on your licenses and the
