Subagents

A subagent is a software program that provides information to a master agent.

Each managed component has a corresponding subagent. A subagent performs the following tasks:
  1. Receives requests from the master agent
  2. Collects the requested information
  3. Returns the information to the master agent
  4. Notifies the master agent when a request is invalid or information is unavailable
