About the CORBA Client/Server
The OpsCenter Agent implements a CORBA server that listens on a configurable port that allows the OpsCenter console to get the runtime status of the Agent. (The default port is 7806.) When you send a request to get the Agent status through the OpsCenter user interface, the OpsCenter Server sends the request to the CORBA Server to receive the requested information.
The Agent behaves as a CORBA client when sending data or alerts to the OpsCenter Server.
