We use the [https://pocoproject.org/ Poco] software library that means meaning we can write the agent once and but compile it to run on many different Operating Systems<ref>The following are the supported Operating Systems of [https://github.com/pocoproject/poco/wiki/SupportedPlatforms poco]. Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10; Windows Embedded CE 6.0; Windows Embedded Compact 2013; Mac OS X 10.5-10.10; Linux; Solaris 9/10; FreeBSD 6.0; HP-UX 11.x; QNX 6.3-6.4</ref>. In addition to this We have written it so there are very few external dependencies requir Because of this it means that many of the configuration setting are generic that will work on many different OS'srequirements. This is why the windows registry is not used in favor of file based configuration settings.
