Follow on-screen prompts to install the core server components, database services if required, and the central console interface. Choose the distributed central site deployment option if prompted, and designate the primary central site location.
• Enter licensing information: During the installation, input the license reinstatement details and the 1-year service agreement terms. Confirm device capacity (up to 750 devices) and set licensing preferences for updates and support provisioning.
• Configure central site and collectors: After installation, configure the central site to communicate with distributed collectors or probe agents installed at remote sites. Define network ranges, discovery rules, and credentials for secure data collection. Establish roles, access controls, and notification policies to align with your IT governance framework.
• Auto-discovery and onboarding: Initiate automatic device discovery to populate the inventory. Review detected devices, assign monitoring templates, and ensure essential performance metrics (CPU, memory, interface utilization, availability, latency) are being collected.
• Build dashboards and maps: Create intuitive dashboards and topology maps that reflect your network architecture. Leverage pre-built templates or customize panels to monitor critical services, application performance, and infrastructure health in real time.
• Set up alerts and automation: Define alert thresholds, escalation paths, and notification channels. Implement automated remediation or runbooks for common incidents to shorten response times and standardize incident handling.
• Test and verify: Validate data flow from distributed sites to the central console. Confirm alert delivery, reporting accuracy, and compliance with security requirements before going into full production.
• Maintain and refresh: With the 1-year service agreement, receive software updates and support as new features are released. Schedule regular health checks and ensure continued compatibility with new devices added to the network.
