Agents use connectors to collect events and transport them to the CA User Activity Reporting Module server. You can configure a connector on the default agent that is installed with the CA User Activity Reporting Module server, or you can install an agent on a server or event source in your network. The decision to use external agents is based on event volume, agent location, data filtering needs, and other considerations. Planning for agent installation involves the following:
You should install agents relatively close to the event sources from which you want to collect event logs. Most connectors collect events from one and only one event source. For syslog events, a single syslog listener can receive events from multiple event source types. An agent can control and handle event traffic from more than one connector.
