What function does the Agent Manager perform on the VEN?

The Agent Manager's primary function on the Virtual Enforcement Node (VEN) is to oversee the management of the VEN and facilitate communication with the Policy Compute Engine (PCE). This involves sending system information, such as status data and configuration details, to the PCE. The Agent Manager ensures that the VEN operates effectively within the security policy framework defined by the PCE, allowing for the enforcement of security policies across the workloads that the VEN is monitoring.

By managing the VEN's activities and providing relevant information to the PCE, the Agent Manager plays a crucial role in maintaining the overall security posture of the environment. This includes monitoring the health of the VEN, applying configurations as needed, and ensuring that data collected by the VEN is accurately reported to the PCE for centralized visibility and control.
