5.4 Service or Application Management Events

This set of events relates to the management of services or applications. For example, the RPM package manager might throw these events as packages are installed or removed from a Linux system. Windows 32 Service Control Manager (SCM) events sent to the Windows 32 System Event Log may be translated into these events as they are imported into OpenXDASv2. This set of events could also be much more domain-specific, including concepts such as installing, removing, or configuring installable executable-modules within a single application domain. The key idea is to ensure that reported events have security significance.
