Agent

JFrog Connect Agent is a lightweight software service that is responsible to keep your products connected to Connect platform 24/7.

Design

Connect Agent was designed with a few key points in mind:
  • Lightweight - consumes only ~4MB of disk space and ~11MB of RAM.
  • Always on - the Agent service is always running in the background, even in case of no internet connection, the agent will always keep the device accessible remotely when the internet connections return.
  • Zero dependencies - designed to run as an "add-on", nothing needs to be installed additionally to make it work.
  • Smart network behavior - the agent only communicates as a client-side on port 443 with Connect servers. No open network ports or listening servers are needed on the edge device.
