Agent Servers

Each Aiimi Insight Engine agent runs as a Windows or Linux service. They listen and communicate with gateways using ports. They also locally write logs and can generate local temporary data.

Specific communications:

  • Source Agent - Content Agent

  • Enrichment Agent - Content Agent

  • Migration Agent - Content Agent

  • Migration - Source Agent

  • Enrichment Agent - OCR Agent

  • Enrichment Agent - Tika Agent

  • Job Agent - All agents or Job dependent
