IWSVA supports Trend Micro Control Manager version 6.0. Control Manager is a software
management solution that provides you with the ability to control antivirus and content
security programs from a central location—regardless of the program’s physical location
or platform. This application can simplify the administration of a corporate virus
and content security policy by managing several Trend Micro products comprehensively
including IWSVA.
-
Control Manager server—The Control Manager server is the machine upon which the Control Manager application
is installed. The Web-based Control Manager Management Console is generated on this
server.
-
Agent—The agent is an application installed on a product-server that allows the Control
Manager to manage the product. It receives commands from the Control Manager server,
and then applies them to the managed product. It also collects logs from the product,
and sends them to the Control Manager. The Control Manager agent does not communicate
with the Control Manager server directly. Instead, it interfaces with a component
called the Communicator that is part of the Trend Micro Management Infrastructure.
Commands from the Control Manager server to the managed products, and status reports
from the products to the Control Manager server all pass through this component. Only
one Communicator is installed on each product server; the Communicator then handles
the needs of all the agents on the server.
-
Entity—An entity is a representation of a managed product on the Product Directory link.
You can see these icons in the directory tree of the Entity section. The directory
tree is a composition of all managed entities, residing on the Control Manager console.
