Identity Reporting |
Browser-based application that generates reports by making calls to the Reporting Service. |

Set of predefined report definitions you can use to generate reports. You can also import custom reports you define in a third-party tool. For details about the predefined reports, see NetIQ Identity Reporting: User’s Guide to Running Reports. |
Report Packaging Tool |
Facilitates the process of creating new reports. You can customize reports in iReport and use the Report Packaging Tool to package them for use within Identity Reporting. |
Reporting Service |
Service that retrieves the data needed to generate reports from the Identity Information Warehouse, which contains all report management information (such as report definitions and schedules), database views, and configuration information required for reporting To produce reports, the Reporting Service invokes the JasperReports engine, which compiles and executes report definitions according to schedules that the Report Administrator defines. |
Identity Information Warehouse |
Repository for the following kinds of information:
The Identity Information Warehouse stores its data in the Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) database. |
Data Collection Service |
Service that collects information from various sources within an organization. The Data Collection Service includes three subservices:
|
Data Collection Service Driver |
Driver that captures changes to objects stored in an Identity Vault, such as accounts, roles, resources, groups, and team memberships. The Data Collection Service Driver registers itself with the Data Collection Service and pushes change events (such as data synchronization, add, modify, and delete events) to the Data Collection Service. The information that the driver captures records changes to these objects:
|
Managed System Gateway Driver |
Driver that collects information from managed systems. To retrieve the managed system data, the driver queries the Identity Vault. The driver retrieves the following information:
|
Security Service |
Service that controls access to all other services within Identity Reporting. The Security Service includes these key components:
|
Sentinel Log Management for Identity Governance and Administration |
Captures log events associated with actions performed in several NetIQ products, including Identity Reporting, the identity applications, and the Identity Vault. These events are stored in the public schema within the warehouse. You have the option to create a Sentinel link. For information about setting up the Sentinel link, see Sentinel Link Overview Guide. |
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 |
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. |
