the EPS of the incoming events.

The following sections describe the each type of licenses:
Section 9.1.1, "Application Licenses," on page 137
Section 9.1.2, "EPS Licenses," on page 137

9.1.1 Application Licenses

Licenses are generated based on the plug-in type, vendor, and device name.
For example, the Collector.Novell.eDirectory license allows Sentinel Log Manager to collect events
only from the eDirectory application, where Collector is the plug-in type, Novell is the Vendor, and
eDirectory is the device name.

You can also create a more generalized license such as Collector.Novell, which allows Sentinel Log
Manager to collect events from all applications with the Vendor name Novell.
If you configure and start the Collector without any license, the Collector shows a red cross and the
Collector is not licensed to run
Source Management interface.

9.1.2 EPS Licenses

Licenses are also generated based on EPS (events per second). The incoming EPS is checked against
the licensed EPS installed on Sentinel Log Manager. If the incoming EPS exceeds the licensed EPS
value, then an audit event and a log message are generated. The log message is logged in the server
log file. The Sentinel Log Manager continues with the events collection.
