The Controller service is part of the analytics engine. The controller does the decision making on where new objects should reside. The controller manages the storage and retrieval of the inventory of the objects within the system.
The Controller service has the following uses:
- It will monitor the collector status every minute
- How long a deleted resource is available in the inventory
- How long a non-existing resource is stored in the database
