The Client in the federation

The client is a server in the member organization that is part of the federation.

Only 4 technical tasks need to be done to integrate a client to a federation:

1. Map its data to the standard of the federation
2. Select a data repository
3. Configure and install Filebeat according to parameters given by the federation
4. Provide the Federation with the results of the mapping and the complete path to the data repository
