The Repository consists of the following databases. For more information, see How auditing works.
| Repository Database Name | Description |
|---|---|
| SQLcompliance | Stores alert messages, audit settings, SQLcompliance Agent SQL Compliance Manager Agent events, Activity Report Card statistics, and other SQL Compliance Manager configurations. |
| SQLcompliance.Processing | Stores processing event data received from the SQLcompliance AgentSQL Compliance Manager Agent. |
| SQLcompliance.Instance | Stores processed events collected from a registered instance. |
| SQLcompliance.Instance_Time_Partition | Stores archived events collected from a registered instance. |
...
The Collection Server processes trace files received from the SQLcompliance SQL Compliance Manager Agent, stores audit data in the events and archive databases, and sends audit setting updates to the SQLcompliance SQL Compliance Manager Agent. The Collection Server runs under the Collection Service account. By default, the Collection Server communicates with the Repository every five minutes (heartbeat) to write processed audit data to the event databases associated with the registered SQL Server instances.
SQLcompliance Agent
The SQLcompliance SQL Compliance Manager Agent gathers SQL Server events written to the SQL trace, caching these audited events in trace files. By default, the SQLcompliance Agent calls the Collection Server every five minutes (heartbeat) to receive audit setting updates, and sends trace files for processing every two minutes. The SQLcompliance SQL Compliance Agent runs under the SQLcompliance SQL Compliance Agent Service account. For more information, see How the SQLcompliance SQL Compliance Manager Agent works.

...
Trace files contain audited SQL Server events collected by the SQLcompliance SQL Compliance Manager Agent. The SQLcompliance SQL Compliance Manager Agent stores these temporary files in a secure directory on the audited SQL Server instance. When the set directory size threshold is reached, the SQLcompliance SQL Compliance Manager Agent stops the SQL trace until the trace files are sent to the Collection Server for processing. When the set file size threshold is met, the trace file is cycled. You can configure the SQLcompliance SQL Compliance Manager Agent trace file directory location as well as how the SQLcompliance SQL Compliance Manager Agent manages these files, such as how often the agent sends trace files to the Collection Server.
