Overview of architecture

This topic describes a high-level overview of IBM Cloud® Object Storage Scanner architecture.

The following figure shows a high-level overview of IBM Cloud Object Storage Replay architecture.

The /opt/ibm/metaocean/data/connections/cos/replay/output/data folder puts the replay output and the notifier reads Kafka messages from the directory. Putting replay output onto disk means that a cold restart is possible.

The IBM Cloud Object Storage Replay consists of two major components:

Replay

Downloads system’s logs and re-creates notifications that are sent during a defined time period.

Notifier

Submits the extracted information to Data Cataloging.
