18.2 Architecture

Analytics dashboard uses Analytics Server to filter the events that are required for generating graphs. The following diagram displays the architecture of Analytics dashboard.

The data flow for Analytics Server is as follows:

  1. The Access Manager components generate events based on user access.

  2. The generated events are sent to Analytics Server real-time aggregator, which analyses and stores the event details for 7 days.

  3. The historic data is forwarded to offline aggregator.

    This saves the historic data of the generated events that is no longer available in real-time aggregator.

  4. Data from the real-time aggregator is displayed in the form of graphs in the Analytics Dashboard.

    You can view the historic data graphs in Analytics Dashboard by retrieving data from the offline aggregator by using the Scheduler page.
