Data Collection and Architecture
StealthAUDIT for Exchange has evolved over time from a simple Mailbox and Public Folder interrogation tool, to a comprehensive Exchange Management solution designed to provide the most granular visibility into Exchange. StealthAUDIT for Exchange addresses multiple areas of Exchange management in a single product through the use of four independent Data Collectors specifically designed for Exchange:
- Exchange Mailbox
- Exchange Public Folder
- Exchange Configuration
- Exchange Message Traffic
In addition to these Exchange-specific Data Collectors, StealthAUDIT also leverages numerous Operating System and Active Directory Data Collectors as part of a highly extensible “plug-in”, DLL architecture, as well as multiple communication methods such as MAPI, WMI, LDAP, and RPC to collect the desired information rapidly and efficiently; without the use of agents.
