Planning Direct Log Collection

The CA User Activity Reporting Module is installed with a default agent that can be used for direct log collection. It is called direct collection because the use of the default agent requires no agent installation. The default agent can collect events from almost any event source, with the following limitations.

• The log sensor must be able to run on the soft appliance; some log sensors, such as the WMI log sensor, are tied to a specific platform.
• The event source must be able to be accessed remotely.

You configure the default agent just like you configure a separately installed agent. Direct log collection by the default agent is ideal for a very small system.
