The Security Management Server acts as an AMON client. It collects data about installed Software Blades. Each Security Gateway, or any other OPSEC gateway which runs an AMON server, acts as the AMON server itself. The gateway requests status updates from other components, such as the Firewall kernel and network servers. Requests are fetched at a defined interval.
An alternate source for status collection can be any AMON client, such as an OPSEC partner, which uses the AMON protocol.
The AMON protocol is SIC- based. It can collect data only after SIC is initialized.
