Event Auditing Service (EAS) is the preferred event destination for the Identity Manager components. EAS provides event forwarding capabilities that links Sentinel with EAS. EAS is configurable through the Identity Reporting application. The event forwarding uses a Sentinel link to push events on to Sentinel. EAS captures log events associated with actions performed in the Identity Reporting Module, the Roles Based Provisioning Module (RBPM), the Role Mapping Administrator (RMA), Identity Manager, and the Identity Vault.
Currenlty, the Identity Manager components cannot send events directly to Sentinel, and then have Sentinel forward events to EAS. The reports that the Identity Reporting application generates are only available on event data present in EAS, same reports cannot be generated against Sentinel at this time. For more information on EAS, refer to the Identity Reporting Module Guide.
