Abstract

A system receives notification from an agent of that agent's availability for data collection from resources within a network. The system identifies, from the notification, a version value associated with the agent. The system determines, from the version value, a set of operations to be assigned to the agent that will be compatible with that agent, and assigns a subset of the set of operations to the agent to enable that agent to collect data from resources in the network.
