Collection and Enrichment Layer

Event Source Management (ESM) provides tools to manage and monitor connections between Sentinel and third-party event sources. Events are aggregated using a set of flexible and configurable Collectors, which collect data from a myriad of sensors and other devices and sources. User can use pre-built Collectors, modify existing Collectors or build their own Collectors to ensure the system meets all requirements.

Data aggregated by the Collectors in the form of events is subsequently normalized and transformed into XML format, enriched with a series of metadata (that is, data about data) using a set of business relevance services and propagated to the server-side for further computational analysis using message bus platform. The Collection and Enrichment layer consists of the following components:
