When using the Mission Control SaaS the agent based approach is recommended for ingesting data, The agent is headless installation of mission-control that caches data locally in a postgres database and replicates it to the SaaS.

The agent based approach has the following benefits:

• Least privilege, as the agent runs within your infrastructure there is no network access or credentials required to be configured on the SaaS.
• CRD Based Configuration of health checks and scrape configs co-located with your IaC/App without the need to push any config to the SaaS.
• Local Playbook Execution on agents, reusing existing secrets or IAM roles.
