Data Access Service (DAS) Process

The Data Access Service (DAS) is Sentinel server's persistence service and provides an interface to the database. It provides data-driven access to the database back-end.

DAS is a container composed of two different processes. Each process is responsible for different types of database operations.

These processes are controlled by the following configuration files:

DAS receives requests from the different Sentinel processes, converts them to a query against the database, processes the result from the database, and converts it back to a reply. It supports requests to retrieve events for Quick Query and Event Drill Down, in order to retrieve vulnerability information and advisor information and to manipulate configuration information. DAS also handles logging of all events being received from the Collector Manager and requests to retrieve and store configuration information.
