Connectors

What each connector records.

Push and polled connectors

Slack, GitHub and Okta push events to Governax as they happen, by webhook or Event Hook, so a change typically appears within seconds.

Google Workspace, AWS, Microsoft Entra ID and GitLab are polled every 10 minutes, because none of them offers a practical push mechanism to an external service without per-customer infrastructure (or, for GitLab, an Ultimate licence). Each poll remembers where it got to and re-reads a short trailing window, so a record the tool makes available late is not missed. Expect a change to take up to 10 minutes plus the tool's own delay.

Whichever way events arrive, every connector writes through the same single ledger writer. When you connect a tool, Governax also takes a baseline snapshot of who already has access, so the ledger has a starting position rather than only the changes from then on.
