To work with system monitoring in Solution Manager, you must install a host agent to collect OS data and manage systems via the Adaptive Computing Controller, and a diagnostic agent to perform root cause analysis and gather information from managed systems. The diagnostic agent must be configured in Solution Manager and connected to the Adaptive Computing Controller. You can install the diagnostic agent locally or on a non-SAP system to manage it through Solution Manager Diagnostics.

You can also install it as a standalone engine,
for example if you want a non-SAP system to be managed by SAP Solution Manager Diagnostics
To configure the agent in Solution Manager navigate to manage system configuration – configure system – step 3 (assign
