How Do I Determine Where to Install an Agent?
The database audit agent can be installed on the database, application, or proxy node (ranked in descending order of preference).
For details about the nodes, see Table 1. For details about how to install the Agent, see Installing the Agent.
Node |
Scenario |
Audit Scope |
Configuration |
---|---|---|---|
Database |
Self-built database on ECS/BMS |
All access records of applications that have accessed the database |
Set Installing Node Type to Database, as shown in Figure 1. |
Application |
You cannot log in to the node where your database (for example, RDS database) is deployed. |
Access records of all the databases connected to the application |
|
Proxy |
You cannot log in to the node where your database (for example, RDS database) is deployed, and cannot install an agent on your application (for example, an off-cloud application). |
Only the access records between the proxy and database. Those between the application and database cannot be audited. |
Set Installing Node Type to Application, and set Installing Node IP Address to the IP address of the proxy. |
