How Endpoints Update the DMS
Each endpoint sends a heartbeat (host status), policy status, and deviation status notifications to the DMS, through the DHs you configured. Those DMS notifications are handled in the following way:
- The DH stores notification messages in an update file.
These are heartbeats and policy deployment and undeployment notifications from the endpoint.
- The DH contacts the DMS, which is its subscriber:
- If a DMS is unavailable, the DH tries to communicate with the DMS periodically, until all messages are successfully sent.
- If the DMS is available, the DH sends the stored notifications.
- The DMS stores the information it receives from each DH for later use.
Each time you create a report, CA ControlMinder retrieves the information from the DMS.
Note: UNAB endpoints use a different process to update the DMS.
