Reporting architecture

The reporting architecture of CFEngine Enterprise uses two softwarecomponents from the CFEngine Enterprise hub package.

cf-hub

Like all CFEngine components,cf-hub islocated in/var/cfengine/bin. It is a daemon process that runs in thebackground, and is started bycf-agent and from the init scripts.

cf-hub wakes up every 5 minutes and connects to thecf-serverd ofeach host to download new data.

To collect reports from any host manually, run the following:

/var/cfengine/bin/cf-hub -H <host IP>

• Add-v to run in verbose mode to diagnose connectivity issues and trace the data collected.

• Delta (differential) reporting, the default mode, collects data that has changed since thelast collection. Rebase (full) reports collect everything. You can choose the full collection byadding-q rebase (for backwards comapatibility, also available as-q full).

Apache

REST over HTTP is provided by theApache http server which also hosts theMission Portal. Thehttpd process is started through CFEngine policyand the init scripts and listens on ports 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTP/S).

Apache is part of the CFEngine Enterprise installation in/var/cfengine/httpd. A localcfapache user is created withprivileges to runcf-runagent.
