  • invoking, by a server, a registration tool to interrogate individual target machines to develop an inventory of resources for each of the individual target machines, wherein the registration tool generates at least one of a link, an association, a channel, or a connection to a set of management agents to permit target machines to download the management agents;

    determining, by the server, a first type of management software component that is associated with one or more performance monitoring services and that is compatible with a particular configuration of a first target machine;

    transmitting to a first target machine, by the server, a performance monitoring agent that corresponds to the first type of management software component and is to monitor performance of the first target machine via a connection to a first remote management server;

    determining, by the server, a second type of management software component that is associated with one or more configuration management services and that is compatible with a particular configuration of a second target machine, wherein the second type of management software component differs from the first type of management software component; and

    transmitting to a second target machine, by the server, a configuration management agent that corresponds to the second type of management software component and is to manage the configuration of the second target machine via a connection to a second remote management server.
