Hello Chin, RealSecure has a capability to have a partner Event Collector. A partner Event Collector act as a backup to the master Event Collector. A partner receives the same event information as the master. ISS recommends that you install the partner and the master Event Collectors on separate machines.
It is assumed that before doing this procedure, the console can both manage the master Event Collector and the partner Event Collector. To do this, in your managed asset window, right click on the event collector and select properties. On the general tab, activate the Partner Event Collector option. Furthermore, to automate the start and stop of a partner Event Collector, ISS developed an UNSUPPORTED utility named "Event Collector Keep Alive" (ECKA). This utility automatically start the partner Event Collector when ECKA found out that the master Event Collector is down. The ECKA utility is available at http://www.iss.net/support/product_utilities/realsecure_tech_center/utilities/index.php If the RS Console and the Databse are located in one machine and you rebooth the console machine this means the you also rebooth the database the result of it connection of DB to EC was lost it is recoommended to restart the EC to refresh the connection when DB is up. hope this helps It is better also if you asked the ISS Support guys to assists you. --- Chin Wan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi > > I tried to set-up 2 event collectors in my > environment.
