Architecture guide

SharePoint Manager Plus modules

Report data processor

Categorizes the report data collected from SharePoint and stores it in the product database. By default, SharePoint Manager Plus' server synchronizes report data daily at 2am.

Audit data processor

Processes all audit events that are fetched from SharePoint before they are stored in the database. It forwards the collected data to the SIEM solution and alerts engine. By default, the SharePoint Manager Plus server synchronizes audit data every 10 minutes.

Alerts engine

Sends out emails based on the configured alert profiles.

Database

Stores raw and normalized log information from the configured SharePoint server and Microsoft 365 tenant. SharePoint Manager Plus comes bundled with a PostgreSQL database, but users can also choose to use a Microsoft SQL database if needed.

Data engine

Stores archived audits, permission reports, and IIS logs. Based on Elasticsearch, the module stores and retrieves large volumes of data faster and is more scalable than the database.
