A.3 Architecture Overview
The Sentinel 6.1 Rapid Deployment system is responsible for receiving events from the Collector
Manager. The events are then displayed in real-time in an Active View
for historical analysis.
At a high level, the Sentinel system uses a PostgreSQL database and is comprised of Sentinel
processes and a reporting engine. The system accepts events from the Collector Manager as its
input. The Collector Manager interfaces with third-party products and normalizes the data from
these products. The normalized data is then sent to the Sentinel processes and database.
Historical analysis and reporting can be done by using the Sentinel integrated JasperReports
reporting engine. The reporting engine extracts data from the database and integrates the report
displays in the Web interface by using HTML documents over an HTTP connection.

Description
The Collector Builder helps you develop new Collectors from
scratch by using the proprietary language. It is similar to an IDE.
Sentinel 6.1 Rapid Deployment provides the ability to develop
Collectors in Java Script by using the third-party tools like Eclipse.
Sentinel requires a back-end database component to store the data.
Sentinel 6.1 Rapid Deployment uses a PostgreSQL database that is
installed with Sentinel 6.1 Rapid Deployment installation. The
database can be used with all the required schema.
For generating reports and event search features on Web UI. It
provides Sentinel Applications to launch and install through the Web
interface.
