Communications flow between Central Manager and Smart Poller

Communication between Central Manager and Smart Poller

Even though Gorgone is being installed on Pollers, it is allowed to communicate with them (from Central server and a Poller) using SSH protocol.

Although the SSH communication type is allowed, it must be used for transitioning from older platform that were using Centcore to a full-ZMQ platform.

Pollers that will not use ZMQ as communication type between Central's Gorgone and theirs will not benefit from all i-Vertix and i-Vertix's extensions features.
