Enter an IP address that will not change in an uncontrolled way (such as a DHCP lease that expires). This address is used by Agent services to communicate to the Management Server.

Port

By default, the port is set to 9051, which is reserved worldwide and should not conflict with any other applications. You can change the port (for example, to 443) depending on your requirements.

Use pre-configured SSL Certificate

A pre-configured certificate is provided, but results in "untrusted certificate" messages. It is less secure than using a certificate made specifically for your server that is signed by a trusted CA.

Use my own custom SSL Certificate

Select this option to update your own Key, Certificate, and CA Chain.

Remote Access Key

To manually configure an Agent to communicate with the Management Server, you can download a remote access key and install it on Agent machines. This action might be required in cases where Advertisement has been disabled (either by configuration or due to lack of Zeroconf support), or the network has multiple Management Servers.

Agents

There are two ways to grant access to Agents: click the box next to the Agent name, and then click Grant Access, or click the link to the right of each Agent name. After an Agent is authorized, a username and password are established in the database, and the Agent has a full access key.

Database

History Database

You can adjust the size of your history database by specifying how many days to include in the historical data. Click Save Changes when you are done.

By default, the application keeps the last 30 days of data. This can be modified to store up to two years.

Backup Database

Click Backup to create a tbz2 file of the entire database named xxxx-backup-<id_number>.tbz2.

Local Accounts

Create and manage user accounts and user roles.

Add User

To add a new user, click the Add User link. Enter a unique username, password, and assign the user's role, which affects that user's permissions.

Edit User

To edit a user, click the username link.
