To my mind agentM already summarized pretty well :

  • Data gathering
  • Data processing
  • Result feeding

I would just add some features which could make this agent really versatile :
  • A kind of scheduler to manage execution of the agents (make hem sleep, wait for another info...)
  • Add a 'state' to the agent (beccause your log reader agent shouldn't read logs the same way when everything is normal as when there's an ongoing intrusion...) for managing behaviour AND/OR priority.
  • The code of the Agent should be easily AND securely upgradable (to dynamically/remotely add new features)

      Title:
      Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
      and:  <code> code here </code>
      to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


      • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
      • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
        <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
      • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
      • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
