CA User Activity Reporting Module Integration Components
CA User Activity Reporting Module integration uses the following CA Access Control for Virtual Environments components. These components are part of the CA Access Control enterprise reporting service:
- The Report Agent runs on each managed device and sends information to queues on a configured Message Queue that resides on the CA Access Control Server. For CA User Activity Reporting Module integration, the Report Agent collects audit messages from the audit log files on a scheduled basis, and sends these events to the audit queue on a configured Distribution Server.
- A Message Queue is a component of the Distribution Server that is configured for receiving information that Report Agents send. For reporting, the Message Queue forwards the CA Access Control for Virtual Environments database snapshots to the central database.
Note: CA Access Control for Virtual Environments installs the Distribution Server on the CA Access Control Server by default.
CA User Activity Reporting Module integration also uses the following CA User Activity Reporting Module components:
- A CA Access Control connector is an out-of-the-box CA User Activity Reporting Module integration for a CA Access Control for Virtual Environments audit event source. The connector enables raw event collection from a Distribution Server and the rule-based transmission of converted events to an event log store, where they are inserted into the hot database.
- A collection server is a CA User Activity Reporting Module server that refines incoming event logs, insert them into the hot database, compresses the hot database when it reaches the configured size into a warm database, and auto-archives the warm database to the related management server on the configured schedule.
Note: For more information about CA User Activity Reporting Module components, see the CA User Activity Reporting Module documentation.
