Question:
What components are installed with Security Reporting Center?
Information:
During a complete installation process, six major components are installed on the computer.
- Apache
- MySQL
- Jakarta Tomcat
- NetIQ Scheduler Agent
- NetIQ LEA Service (Daemon)

The Apache component is a web server used by Security Reporting Center to serve reports and to serve the application interface. Because Apache is a well-known web server, this provides for easy customization of the web hosting capabilities of Security Reporting Center.
As an example, if your installation requires a secure connection, you can simply install Apache's SSL plug-in. As the plug-in has no affect on the pages that are actually served, once it is installed and configured properly for the web server, the reports and main interface can then be accessed via this secure connection.
The Security Reporting Center Apache component appears in the Services Control Panel of Windows as 'NetIQ - Apache'.
MySQL is used to store the report content, scheduled events and tasks, and application option settings. The Security Reporting Center MySQL component shows up in the Services Control Panel of Windows as 'NetIQ - MySQL'.
Jakarta Tomcat is a servlet engine that allows Security Reporting Center to contain the advanced web page functionality it uses for the interface and report generation. The Jakarta Tomcat component appears in the Services Control Panel of Windows as as 'NetIQ - Tomcat'.
The NetIQ Scheduler Agent is the process that decides when it is time to run a scheduled event, breaks the scheduled events down into tasks, and executes those tasks through the NetIQ Security Reporting agent.
The NetIQ Security Reporting agent is the analysis engine that performs the parsing and exporting to the Content Database, among other things. This component of Security Reporting Center appears in the Services Control Panel of Windows as NetIQ Scheduler Agent.
Regardless of which components of Security Reporting Center are installed, the Scheduler Agent is also installed.
