iRecorders and iRouters

Recorders are subcomponents packaged with eTrust Audit client components. These predefined recorders use the eTrust Audit Submit API (SAPI) to send log events to a Router and Action Manager for further processing as defined in the Policy Manager.

iRecorders are eTrust Audit client components developed using the iRecorder SDK, which is based on iTechnology SDK. iRecorders, like recorders, send log events to a Router and Action Manager for event processing. They require an intermediate component, an iRouter, which is installed on an existing eTrust Audit Client. The iRouter provides a bridge between the iRecorder and the eTrust Audit Client.

The following illustration shows the flow of information from the iRecorder to the eTrust Audit client components.
