What the agent collects

inframole-agent is a single, signed, read-only binary for Windows and Linux. Every five minutes it sends one small report over HTTPS. It has no command channel: the server can only answer with its reporting settings, never tell it to run anything.

See for yourself before installing anything — this prints the exact report and sends nothing:
inframole-agent dry-run

Collected, and why

DataWhy
Hostname, FQDN, OS name and version, kernel, architecture, boot timeIdentify the machine and show what it is.
Machine ID (only when enrolling)Recognise the same machine after a reinstall of the agent, instead of creating a duplicate.
Network interfaces: name, MAC, IP addresses (loopback skipped)Match connections from other hosts to this one.
Running services: name, display name, state, start typeShow what runs on the host (IIS, SQL Server, nginx…).
Listening TCP ports and the owning process name / pathKnow what the host offers to others.
Established TCP connections, aggregated per peer, port and process — counts and first/last seenSuggest who depends on whom. Shown as “detected”, never as confirmed.

Never collected

Enforced twice: the agent's data structures have no fields for any of this, and the server rejects any report with a field it does not expect.

A real report

Shortened to one item per list. This sample is checked against the live protocol schema in our test suite.
