Passive agent
Learn how a Passive agent monitors health and metrics without running active tests, ideal for continuous backend and network observation.
A Passive agent is a lightweight monitoring endpoint that collects metrics and health data without running active tests. Unlike the Web, Smartphone, and Cellular agents, it drives no device: it observes.
What it does:
- Polls service health and collects metrics
- Monitors logs and system performance
- Requires no hostname or active test execution
Common use case: continuous monitoring of backend services or network endpoints that don't need interactive test steps. See Realtime status for how this data feeds health tracking.
