10.5 Debugging

Sentinel's Collectors are designed to be easily customizable and to be created by customers and
partners. There are two types of Sentinel Collectors: proprietary (or legacy) Collectors that are
written in a language developed for Sentinel, and JavaScript Collectors. The debugging interface is
slightly different for each type, and is intended to analyze the Collector code running in place on the
Collector Manager For more information on customizing or creating new Collectors, obtain the
