The action account is used to gather information about, and run responses on, the managed computer (a managed computer being either a management server or a computer with an agent installed). The MonitoringHost.exe processes run under the action account
or a specific Run As account. There might be more than one MonitoringHost.exe process running on the agent at any given time.
Some of the actions that MonitoringHost.exe performs include:
Monitoring and collecting Windows event log data.
Monitoring and collecting Windows performance counter data.
Monitoring and collecting Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) data.
Running actions such as scripts or batches.
The service account for Microsoft Monitoring agent service is used for SCOM agent to store collection data into local database and send this information to management server
The SCOM agent service will run as local system no matter what action account you select.
Any action the agent takes will then spawn a monitoring host process using said action account. This means that any monitoring being done will in fact use the configured action account even though the System Center Management / Health Service is running as local system.
