ELM Data Flow

The flow and organization of data in ELM Enterprise Manager can best be described in three separate segments. Monitoring, Results, and Reporting as you will see in the ELM Console.

Monitoring & Management

Monitor Items are what collect the data. They are assigned to Monitoring Categories so they know where to look for data. Agents are assigned to Monitoring Categories for organizational purposes as well as providing the ability to use monitoring "templates" across the systems on your network.

Viewing & Notifying

The data collected flows into different Event Views, Security Views, and Correlation Views based upon unique and customizable Event Filters. Notifications can be assigned to Views to alert you of specific event activity occurring.

Reporting

Reports are based upon SQL queries that run against the ELM Database. Reports can also be generated from an Event, Security, or Correlation View and will utilize the same unique include and exclude filters that specify the data showing in that View.
