Configuring sites

A site is a logical grouping of assets and servers. Sites are organizational tools. Sites help you configure how data is collected and which DPS Collector performs the collection.

Each asset is assigned to a single site.

All instances of the Data Processing Service (DPS) are assigned to one or more sites. Every site must have at least one DPS Collector assigned.

Data is collected from the assets that are assigned to a site by the DPS Collectors that are also assigned to the site. Any DPS Collector can be assigned to more than one site.

Multiple, identically configured DPS Collectors can be assigned to a single site. When multiple DPS Collectors are assigned to a site, the DPS Load Balancers assign jobs in a round-robin fashion. An asset is assigned to a single site.

A site can represent a physical location that is separated from the remainder of your Control Compliance Suite deployment by slow network links. A site can also represent a logical subdivision of a single location such as a single department, a single building, or a single floor.
