Use these procedures to manage Command Centers, Data Center Scouts, and Cloud Scouts. 

Connecting an Asset Manager System

To monitor a remote zone, connect a Scout as follows:

  1. In Asset Manager, navigate to Settings > Asset Manager Systems.
  2. In the Available Systems pane, enter the system name or IP address of the Scout you want to connect.
  3. Click Add.
    The systems connect and provide information about the remote system's name, version, and UUID display.

Disconnecting a System

To stop monitoring a remote zone, disconnect the Scout associated with it. When upgrading to a new version of Asset Manager, you may leave your systems (including Scouts) connected. This is an enhancement and was not always the case.

  1. Navigate to Settings > Asset Manager Systems.
  2. In the Available Systems pane, select Scout you want to disconnect.
  3. Click Delete System.
  4. Click the red X to disconnect the system.
  5. Click OK to confirm.

Identifying Your Local System & Connected System

Open the System tab to display the information on your installation including its system name, type (e.g., Command Center or Scout), version, user identifier  (UUID), initiator, and last connection time.

  1. Navigate to Settings > Asset Manager Systems.
  2. In the Available Systems pane, select a system from the list.
    System information, license information, interface information, and any CEF information for the Asset Manager system displays in the adjacent panes.

Upgrading a System

Before upgrading a Scout, download the upgrade file you need to your local system.

To upgrade from the Asset Manager browser interface:

  1. Navigate to the system name or IP address of your Scout.
  2. Click Upgrade and upload the upgrade package from your local system.

To upgrade from the CLI:

  1. Login to your system via SSH.
  2. Run the CLI command:
    system upgrade <path to the upgrade file>.
