Message Queue

The Message Queue manages inbound and outbound messages between the Enterprise Management Server and other components. The Message Queue has a dedicated queue for each client component that communicates with the Enterprise Management Server, as follows:

• Report queue—Receives scheduled snapshots of the endpoint databases.

  The reporting service uses the snapshots to generate CA ControlMinder reports.

• Audit queue—Receives audit events that occur on the endpoints.

  You can configure CA User Activity Reporting to collect and report on the audit events.

• Server to endpoint queue—Receives data from the DMS that is collected by endpoints.

  For example, when you deploy a UNAB config policy the DMS sends the config policy to this queue. The UNAB agent then collects the policy from the queue and deploys the policy on the UNAB endpoint.

• Endpoint to server queue—Receives information from endpoints that is collected by the DMS.

  For example, a UNAB endpoint sends a heartbeat notification to this queue. The DMS then collects the heartbeat notification from the queue and updates the endpoint status in its database.
