Transaction Log Agent

Track RPM transactions on your datacenter

This repository contains the code for the Agent, which compiles transactional data and sends it to a central server, enabling real-time monitoring and analytics. By aggregating and processing package history, the Agent provides actionable insights for system administrators to optimize their RPM-based systems.
