Installation manual

8.4 Replication

Replication is used in large networks where multiple ERA Servers are installed (e.g., a company with several branches). For

more information, see chapter Installation .

The options in the Replication tab (Tools > Server Options...) are divided into two sections:

Replication “to“ settings

Replication “from“ settings

The Replication ”to“ settings section is used to configure lower ERA Servers. The Enable “to” replication option must be

enabled and the IP address or name of the master ERAS (Upper server) entered. Data from the lower server is then

replicated to the master server. The Replication ”from“ settings allow master (upper) ERA Servers to accept data from

lower ERA Servers, or to transfer them to their master servers. The Enable “from“ replication must be enabled and

names of lower servers should be defined (delimited by a comma).

Both of these options must be enabled for ERA Servers located anywhere in the middle of the replication hierarchy (i.e.,

they have both upper and lower servers).

All of the previously mentioned scenarios are visible in the figure below. The beige computers represent individual ERA

Servers. Each ERAS is represented by its name (which should be the same as %Computer Name% to avoid confusion) and

the corresponding settings in the replication dialog window.

Other options that influence the replication behavior of servers include:

Replicate threat log, Replicate firewall log, Replicate event log, Replicate scan log, Replicate mobile log,
