To generate reports, data from each endpoint has to be collected. The reporting service uses a Report Agent, installed on each CA ControlMinder and UNAB endpoint, to collect data from that endpoint at scheduled times or on-demand.
Note: The Report Agent is also responsible for collecting and routing audit data for integration with CA User Activity Reporting. This process describes only those actions that the Report Agent takes for reporting on the endpoint.
The Report Agent performs the following actions on each endpoint:
Important! If you have the Report Agent set to run regularly, and you do not need to have the DMS updated, you do not need to schedule a policy deviation calculation separately.
This is a temporary copy that the Report Agent takes so that it can process data without affecting CA ControlMinder performance.
This is a dump of all of the objects in the database, meaning that all data is captured, not just data that is visible through database interface utilities (such as selang).
The Report Agent sends the data to the reporting queue on the Distribution Server.
Note: Data for reporting is not collected from SAM endpoints.
