Installing CA Enterprise Log Manager - CA Technologies

Subscription Update PlanningExample: Six Servers Where the Least Busy Server is the OnlineSubscription ProxyConsider a scenario of six CA Enterprise Log Manager servers. The managementserver is dedicated to authenticating and authorizing users at login and storingapplication content. Four federated servers handle event processing andreporting. A sixth server is a dedicated restore point for investigating eventsfrom restored databases. An advantage of having a dedicated restore point isthat you can keep old data from being included on current reports by notincluding this server in your federation.In this example, the two servers labeled collection and reporting represent aconfiguration with exceptionally high processing requirements. These serversare federated in a hierarchical configuration, where the collection server is thechild of the reporting server. The two servers that act as both collection andreporting servers represent a configuration with normal event volumes andscheduled reports. They are federated with each other and the dedicatedreporting server in a meshed federation; that is, the three servers are peers. Thepurpose of federating servers is to extend the ability to get query results from theservers you federate. A federated query from any of the meshed servers returnsevents from itself and the other three servers in the federation.Note: If you want to run consolidated reports on self-monitoring events, includethe management server in the federation.52 Implementation Guide
