Resolution: Microagents are data collectors that provide information to the agent for monitoring system resources and the health of applications. Microagents are not individual processes, but are provided during runtime by the agent, Hawk Micro Agent (HMA), and any application instrumented with AMI (Application Management Interface). For example, Hawk agent has embedded microagents like logfile, self microagents, HMA has rendezvous, process, and other microagents.
