BladeLogic Agent
**BladeLogic Agent** facilitates communication between BMC's BladeLogic Server Automation platform and managed servers. It enables administrators to automate configuration, provision systems, manage software deployment, and monitor server compliance via a secure agent running on the target device..
BladeLogic Agent is an endpoint component of BMC's BladeLogic Server Automation suite. It provides a secured communication channel for executing administrative commands remotely and managing server lifecycles. Typically installed as a system service, the agent listens on TCP port 4750 to receive instructions from the BladeLogic Application Server (AppServer).
The agent supports various operations like patch management, inventory collection, compliance assessments, and software deployments. It leverages role-based access control and integrates with enterprise identity management solutions for secure operation. Communication is initiated by authenticated AppServers that issue commands which the agent executes locally, ensuring operations adhere to established policies.
BladeLogic Agent is a core part of enterprise infrastructure automation, scaling global server management through reliable connectivity. It requires consistent network availability and appropriate firewall configuration, with port 4750 needing to be open between management servers and endpoints.
