Abstract
A system and method for managing a monitoring agent in an operating system of a virtual computing instance uses a monitoring agent lifecycle service of the monitoring agent that is started as part of a startup process of the operating system of the virtual computing instance. When needed, a monitoring agent core of the monitoring agent is downloaded and installed from an external service to the virtual computing instance by the monitoring agent lifecycle service so that a monitoring operation of the virtual computing instance is performed by the monitoring agent core.
