Monitoring of dynamic multi-agent systems, where agents are allowed to appear and disappear, and can migrate between network nodes is a complex tasks. Applying the traditional monitoring methods is not e effective, as little can be assumed in advance about such environments. It is necessary to track changes in addressing and availability of agents to create and maintain mapping between agents and their network addresses. The paper presents a novel method of monitoring, which creates and maintains the address mapping by scanning the network address pool, aided by reports from agent monitors. The method deals with the dynamic environment offering more up-to-date information and less scanning than by using plain network address pool scanning.
