Real-Time Monitoring
Real-time event monitoring capability is critical for many industries, such as Time & Attendance, Network Monitoring and Access Control. Monitoring current events is one of a system operator’s primary tasks.
The unified data model employed in AggreGate has been designed with event processing in mind. In addition to internal system events, the system learns new event types coming from different hardware on-the-fly. These events are converted to AggreGate events thereby revealing many handling methods.
Events are subdivided into five severity levels: Notice, Info, Warning, Error and Fatal. The essential tool for event monitoring is Event Log of AggreGate Client. It is divided into two areas: Real-Time Events and Event History. The event log provides basic event handling functions, such as sorting, filtering, deleting, acknowledging, and accessing event-related actions.
There are two types of events: transient and persistent events. Transient events may be processed at the moment they are generated (for example, trigger an alert). Persistent event are stored in the server database and therefore may be used for future analysis, charting, report building, etc. All persistent events are automatically purged after a while (configurable).
AggreGate Server does its best to make all background activities (e.g. device communication failures or e-mail sending) visible as events.
