Installation Components

Corner Bowl Server Manager includes multiple components to securely implement centralized remote management, log entry retention, vulerablility scanning, monitoring, reporting, remediation and notification.

Component	Description
Management Server	Either a Windows Service or Linux Daemon that provides all server functionality including log entry retention, vulnerability scanning, monitoring, reporting, remediation and notification. Remote management is implemented using a combination of native operating system APIs, network interface APIs, and optimally, Corner Bowl Agent APIs.
Agent	Either a Windows Service or Linux Daemon that connects outbound to the Management Server, or a collection of servers, over a TCP/IP port, optionally encrypted TLS 1.2/3, then receives management instructions from the server, for example, archive, compress and upload the latest Windows Event Logs or Linux audit logs.
Management Applications
Management Console	Either a Windows WPF Client Application or an Avalonia Client Application that connects outbound to any server, over a TCP/IP port, optionally encrypted TLS 1.2/3, then authenticates using either Windows Account Credentials or Linux SSH Credentials. Once connected, network administrators and ISSMs use the application to configure the server while read-only auditors use the application to audit logs.
Tray Icon	Only available on Windows at this time, the Tray Icon provides remote real-time desktop notification messages and sounds.
Command-Line Interface (CLI)	A console application that enables users to remotely connect to the Management Server, authenticate then execute management and auditing functions through either the command-line interface or a script.
