8.9.1 Reports Using Aggregation Service

To improve performance, the Top 10 reports included in the Sentinel Core Solution Pack query
summary tables instead of the events table. The summary tables contain counts over time for
combinations of fields in the event data. This provides a much smaller data set for certain types of
queries and results in much faster queries and report run time.
The Aggregation service is responsible for populating the summary tables with summarizations of
all of the events in the events table. The Aggregation service will only generate summarized data for
summaries that are active. The following summaries are required by the Top 10 reports and are
enabled by default:
 EventDestSummary
EventSevSummary

EventSrcSummary

Summaries can be activated or inactivated using the Report Data Configuration window under the
Admin tab of Sentinel Control Center.
The Aggregation service also depends on the
Binary to feed it the event data that it will summarize. Therefore, this component must be enabled in
order for the Aggregation service to run properly. This component is enabled or disabled by
modifying the "status" attribute of the
file to "on" or "off". By default, this component is "on".
