Examples of iSponsors

Examples of iSponsors include the following:

iRegistry

Scans a specified portion of an Internet network for active iGateway hosts and lists existing iGateway hosts on the network. iRegistry includes a plug-in to store discovered iGateway hosts in a repository. This iSponsor is included in the iGateway or iRecorder distribution.

iAuthority

Acts as a trusted Central Authority for registered iGateways. It distributes and revokes digital certificates for authentication and authorization of trusted iGateways. A valid digital certificate distributed by iAuthority must accompany any request to privileged methods in an iSponsor. The iSponsor can reject the request if the privileges granted by the certificate are not sufficient to run a method. iAuthority is included in the iGateway or iRecorder distribution.

iControl

Plays a central role in the iTechnology event management system. This iSponsor regulates the flow of unsolicited data, specifically the flow of audit events from the iRecorder to the router. iControl can include plug-ins called Event Plugins, a type of web service. iControl is included in the iGateway or iRecorder distribution.

iRecorder

Harvests events from sources such as applications, databases, devices, log files, and operating systems. These events are then sent through iControl.

iReflect

Behaves like an iSponsor but is not loaded by iGateway. iReflect is a dynamically loadable library that registers itself with iGateway. It communicates between non-iTechnology applications and iGateway.

Spindle

Serves web pages.
