Installing CA Enterprise Log Manager - CA Technologies

Understanding Differences in ArchitecturesThe collection CA Enterprise Log Manager server can receive events directlyusing its default agent, or from an agent residing on the event source. Agents canalso reside on a host that acts as a collector for other event sources in thenetwork as for a VPN concentrator or router host.Solid lines in this diagram represent event flows from event sources to agents tothe collection server to the reporting role of the management/reporting server.The dashed lines show configuration and control traffic between the CAEnterprise Log Manager servers and from the management role of themanagement/reporting server to the agents. You can use any CA Enterprise LogManager server in the network to control any agent in the network, so long as theCA Enterprise Log Manager servers were registered with the same applicationinstance name in management server during installation.Agents use connectors (not shown) to collect events. A single agent can manageseveral connectors to collect multiple, different types of events at the same time.This means that a single agent deployed on an individual event source can collectdifferent types of information. The CA Enterprise Log Manager server also offerslisteners that allow event collection from other CA applications using the existingiRecorder and SAPI recorders from your CA Audit network.You can federate CA Enterprise Log Manager servers to scale your solution and toshare reporting data between them without having that data transported out ofbounds. This can give you a network-wide view of compliance while still followingregulations about maintaining physical data locations.Subscription updates to predefined queries and reports mean that you no longerhave to maintain queries and reports manually. Supplied wizards allow you tocreate your own custom integrations for third-party devices and applications notyet supported.Appendix A: Considerations for CA Audit Users 169
