Question: Does the agent need 'root' access?

Answer: All your infrastructure is hosted by force.com.

Question: I installed Breeze on my instances but don't see the data in CMDB yet. How long it may take?
Answer: Initial import of data can take up to several hours.

Question: Do you update Breeze?
Answer: Yes, two cases: 1) planned roll-out you will be notified about. 2) if you request an additional functionality.

Question: Can I specify what plugins the Breeze agent runs?
Answer: Sure. Nothing but the approved plugins will be executed on a machine.

Question: Do I need to re-install Breeze if I need to refresh a couple my instances with the image of one of the existing ones?
Answer: No, you can bake the Breeze agent into this AMI so that you don’t need to install it from scratch on an instance you will spin.

Question: Can the agent be installed on a physical (on-prem) server?
Answer: Yes, but the machine should have outbound access to Breeze server. In order to connect to anything internal such as vCenter or AD or SCCM, Breeze agent acts as a local collector and then transmits the data into CMDB.
