• The Monitor, also known as the workermonitor process, is the first process executed on the worker machine by the Worker Agent, also known as the server, and communicates directly with the Worker Agent.

• Using the Monitor, the server can perform the following actions:

◦ Communicate with the worker machine, even when the Helper, and Worker are not running, and start a new worker.

◦ View log files on the worker machine for the Monitor, Helper, and Worker, even when the worker itself fails to start.

• Use a single Monitor process to start multiple instances of a single worker definition:

• Workers that are enabled for file synchronization are restricted to a single-worker instance per worker definition due to the unique configuration that each requires.
