Configure an Audit Collector

CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management collects audit events, including SAM audit events, and stores them in the central database. You can configure CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management to send the audit events to CA User Activity Reporting.

To configure an audit collector

1. In CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management, do as follows:
   1. Click System.
   2. Click Connection Management subtab.
   3. Expand the UARM tree in the task menu on the left.

      The Create Audit Collector task appears in the list of available tasks.

2. Click Create Audit Collector.

   The Create Audit Collector: Audit Collector Search Screen appears.

3. (Optional) Create a copy of an existing audit collector, as follows:
   1. Select Create a copy of an object of type UARM Sender.
   2. Select an attribute for the search, type in the filter value, and click Search.

      A list of UARM Senders that match the filter criteria appear.

   3. Select the object you want to use as a basis for the new audit collector.
4. Click OK.

   The Create Audit Collector task page appears. If you created the audit collector from an existing object, the dialog fields are pre-populated with the values from the existing object.

5. Complete the fields in the dialog. The following fields are not self-explanatory:

   Job Enable

   Specifies whether the audit collector is enabled.

   Name

   Defines the name of audit collector.

   Queue Jndi

   Defines the name of the Message Queue queue that CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management sends audit event messages to.

   Example: queue/audit

   Sleep

   Defines the interval, in minutes, between database queries.

   Default: 1

   Time Out

   Defines the collector time out period, in minutes, for sending the audit event messages to the messages queue.

   Default: 10

   Note: Once the timeout period has passed, the collector sends the messages although the number of messages in the queue did not reach the level defined in the Msg Block Size field.

   Msg Block Size

   Defines the maximum number of messages to accumulate in the database before sending the message to the queue.

   Default. 100

6. Click Submit.

   CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management creates the audit collector.
