# FlexxAgent
FlexxAgent is the Flexxible agent installed on managed devices. It acts as the local component of the solution, collecting information about the operating system, hardware, and applications, and transmitting it securely to the platform for monitoring, administration, and automation.
It is distributed as a lightweight binary that, once installed, establishes end-to-end encrypted communications with Flexxible services.
FlexxAgent is compatible with Windows, Linux, macOS, ChromeOS, and Android operating systems.
## Capabilities
* It must be installed for a device to be inventoried, monitored, and managed from the platform.
* Collects information about the status, configuration, use, performance, and incidents of devices.
* Provides metrics on the use of system resources and applications.
* Allows remote execution of on-demand or automated actions.
* Runs self-remediation actions to automatically resolve known incidents.
* Enables user self-service through autonomous execution of support actions, without users having to leave their work session.
* Provides a secure interface for remote assistance to end users and unattended remote access for authorized administrators.
* Allows advanced operations on managed devices, such as remote power-on via Wake on LAN (WoL).
