Distributing configurations

Configurations and their schedules, can be distributed, either all or individually, between the central manager and the managed units.

Procedure

  1. Select the managed units that receive the configurations.
  2. Click Distribute Configurations to display the Distribute Configurations window.
  3. Check the appropriate boxes for the configurations that you want to distribute. Use the check box in the header to select all configurations.
  4. Check the appropriate boxes for any schedules that you want to distribute. Use the check box in the header to select all schedules. If a configuration is not scheduled, the check box is not available.
  5. Click Distribute to distribute the configurations and schedules.

What to do next

After you distribute the configuration, you might need to either reboot or restart any managed units that you have updated.

Alerter
Reboot managed units.
If Active on Startup is selected, the alerter starts each time the appliance restarts.
GUI restart does not take the Active on Startup value.

The alerter must be manually restarted on the managed units through the admin portal (Admin Console > Alerter). Since you cannot restart the alerter from the central manager, restart the managed units from the Admin Console for the same effect. 

Anomaly Detection
Restart managed units.
If Active on Startup is selected, anomoly detection starts each time the appliance restarts.
GUI restart takes the Active on Startup value.
Session Inference
Restart managed units
If Active on Startup is selected, session inference starts each time the appliance restarts.
GUI restart takes the Active on Startup value.
Results Export, System Backup, Data Archive, Result Archive, and Data export
No restart or reboot needed. The configuration is distributed automatically.
Global profile
