Product Architecture

The SysTrack product architecture consists of one or more SysTrack deployment trees, each of which operates independently. At the head of each tree is a SysTrack server, often referred to as the master system. This system is responsible for the deployment of the SysTrack agents onto endpoint systems (sometimes referred to as child systems) within that tree.

The structure of the tree is determined using SysTrack Configure or Deploy. Once you have created the tree using either tool, the SysTrack master system deploys software and configuration instructions necessary to create the desired tree structure.

Each monitored endpoint system in your SysTrack tree has an associated database. All endpoints have an associated sql lite db.

The master system will use a SQL Server Express or a SQL Server database. The SQL Server is not included with SysTrack. SQL Server Express is part of the SysTrack Download image.

Endpoint systems in the SysTrack tree periodically send a subset of their data from their local database to their master system’s database. In the case of non-persistent systems, the database association is slightly different and makes use of a pooled system or user hosting model.

The structure of the tree that you create with SysTrack Deploy determines the endpoint-master relationships. SysTrack is flexible; if you install multiple SysTrack instances, you may use SysTrack Deploy’s uplink feature to link entire trees to higher-level trees. This allows transparent navigation and reporting across tree boundaries.
