Database
The major difference between Sentinel
6.1 Rapid Deployment and previous
versions of Sentinel is the introduction of
an embedded Sentinel database, based
on the open source PostgreSQL
database engine. This new database is
installed and configured automatically
during the Sentinel Rapid Deployment
installation, with no need to provide or
manage an external database.
Customer-provided MS SQL or
Oracle* database.
Reporting
Sentinel 6.1 Rapid Deployment
introduces a new, streamlined reporting
system to replace Crystal Reports. This
new reporting system is an integral part
of Sentinel and allows users to easily
run pre-defined reports or custom
reports developed using the open
source Jasper reporting engine.
Crystal Reports with associated
database is installed separately.
Messaging
ActiveMQ
SonicMQ*
Installation architecture
Installation is simplified. You only need
to provide a Sentinel password, a
database password, and an optional set
of credentials for the Sentinel Advisor
service.
Server components, including the
embedded database, the reporting
engine, a Collector Manager, and a Web
console are all included in the package,
and are installed and configured
automatically on a single machine. This
allows you deploy and begin using the
product very quickly and with a minimum
amount of effort.
Additional Collector Managers can be
installed as needed.
The database is installed
separately by the customer.
Server components can be
installed together or distributed
across multiple machines.
Web-based application
launch and installation
The Web console used for Sentinel 6.1
Rapid Deployment reporting and full text
search also includes the option to launch
and install the Sentinel client
applications. You can now launch the
Sentinel Control Center, the Sentinel
Solution Designer, and the Sentinel Data
Manager from a Web browser without
the need to install these client
applications locally. The Web console
also includes the option to install the
client applications and the Sentinel
Collector Manager without the need to
manually retrieve the installation
package.
Not supported.
