Patent number: 11611537Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for generating, sending, and receiving messages in a networked environment using autonomous (or semi-autonomous) agents. In one example of the disclosed technology, a method of collecting data from an agent executing on a host computer connected to one or more agent data consumers via a network connection includes collecting host data, the collecting occurring whether or not the agent can currently send data via the network connection. When the agent cannot send data via the network connection, the agent spools at least a portion of the collected host data in a spooler. When the agent can send data via the computer network, the agent sends at least a portion of the spooled host data to at least one of the agent data consumers.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2020Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: Tripwire, Inc.Inventors: Gwendolyn Meredith Hunt, Benjamin John Jansen, Eric Lee Delaney
