OpsMgr 2012 Audit Collection Services Install
ACS collects security events from the security log of agents configured as alert forwarders. This can be quite a heavy load, so the ACS functionality is typically installed on separate servers to avoid impacting the operational data collection and alerting.
There will be two servers in this example, with the audit collection server named ACS1 and the audit database server named ACS2. To be able to launch ACS reports directly from the Operations Manager console, the ACS report model will be installed on the OpsMgr 2012 server with the Reporting Server role. In this case, that is the OM2 server.
Figure 7.5 shows the architecture for the ACS build.
