== Overview ==
Agents are software that are installed as a service on an operating system that runs and they schedule policies and run actions and sends sending the results back to the VelooptiSaaS server. The Veloopti agent is written in the C++ programming language. We use the [https://pocoproject.org/ Poco] software library meaning which means we can write the agent once 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>. We have written it the agent so there are very few external dependencies requirements. This is why the windows registry is not used in favor of file based configuration settings.

=== Configuring ===
The Veloopti agent is configured from the web GUI.
