1.4.2 Connectors and Integrators

Connectors provide connectivity from the Collector Manager to event sources through standard
protocols such as JDBC* and syslog. Events are passed from the Connector to the Collector for
parsing.
Integrators enable remediation actions on systems outside of Sentinel. For example, a correlation
action can use the SOAP Integrator to initiate a Novell Identity Manager™ workflow.
The optional Remedy AR Integrator provides the ability to create a Remedy ticket from Sentinel
events or incidents. For more information, see
Rapid Deployment User

1.4.3 Correlation Rules and Actions

Correlation rules identify important patterns in the event stream. When a correlation rule triggers, it
initiates correlation actions, such as sending e-mail notifications, initiating an iTRAC workflow, or
executing an action using an Integrator. For more information, see
6.1 Rapid Deployment User

1.4.4 Reports

You can run a wide variety of dashboard and operational reports from the Sentinel 6.1 Rapid
Deployment Web interface by using JasperReports. The reports are typically distributed via Solution
Packs.

1.4.5 iTRAC Workflows

iTRAC workflows provide consistent, repeatable processes for managing incidents. The workflow
templates are typically distributed via Solution Packs. iTRAC is shipped with a set of default
templates that you can modify to suit your requirement. For more information, see
Workflows" in the Sentinel 6.1 Rapid Deployment User

1.4.6 Solution Packs

Solution Packs are packaged sets of related Sentinel content, such as correlation rules, actions,
iTRAC workflows, and reports. Novell also creates Collector packs, which include content focused
on a specific event source, such as Windows* Active Directory*. For more information, see
