These events are stored in the public schema within the warehouse. You have the option to create a Sentinel link.

Identity Vault Data Sources |
Repositories for identity information. Identity Reporting allows you to report on state information in the Identity Vault, such as which users have been provisioned with particular resources, or which users have been assigned to particular roles. You can report on current and past data from the Identity Vault. The Identity Vault Data Sources page allows you to specify which Identity Vaults you want to report on, and provide information about where Identity Reporting can find these vaults. You can include data sources for one or more Identity Vaults on the Identity Vault Data Sources page. |
Managed Systems and Applications |
A system in an enterprise that is connected to the Identity Vault with an Identity Manager driver. Identity Reporting allows you to report on state information about the managed systems. For example, the reports allow you to determine that a particular user known to the Identity Vault exists in Active Directory. Identity Reporting allows you to report on current and past data from managed systems. |
