Does DAA must be installed for EWA Function?

[Former Member]

Hello, Experts,

Happy new year,

I am configuring a EWA function solution manager system, I would like to know whether the Diagnostics Agents (DAA) must be installed on all managed systems?

I searched on scn but there are different answers, someone said it's not necessary however someone said it's obligatory to be installed.

Thank you for your advices.
