System and Agents

At startup, you notice a tree list on the left hand side. This is your navigator. It shows the basic items 'System' and 'Agent'.

EOS is built out of several components : a communication access point and framework (System) and executors (Agents). Each Agent hereby is a virtual EOS server on a separate machine, allowing to use EOS in a clustered environment with load-balancing techniques.

Normal EOS installations have 1 Agent, namely the local one on the EOS Server machine where your EOS system is running.

General specifications belong to the EOS system, while specific resource details belong to the agent's properties.
