The Breeze Agent is a scheduled task that streams OS-level data (users, services, mount points, etc.) into Cloudaware CMDB and seamlessly enables other Cloudaware modules such as Vulnerability Scanning, Patch Management, CIS Benchmarking, Event Monitoring and others. The new agent version is available now.

Windows-Specific Requirements
For Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), ensure that:
-
WMI is enabled
-
Windows Management Instrumentation service (
winmgmt) is running
Breeze uses WMI to collect the following data from Windows hosts:
-
Operating system version and product type
-
Service discovery and management
If WMI is unavailable, affected plugins log errors and skip WMI-dependent data collection. Other agent functionality (disk, processes, users, Windows Updates) uses native Win32 APIs and is not affected.
Network requirements
-
Breeze 3.0 requires outbound internet access on the port TCP 443 only
-
Breeze 3.0 does not require any inbound connections and can be deployed on private networks and servers with no public IP addresses
-
On AWS, Azure, GCP and Oracle Cloud, the instance metadata must be enabled and accessible to Breeze agent 3.0 (access to
