Assure1 Topology Configuration Discovery

Overview

The Assure1 Topology Configuration Discovery uses Configuration Policies to identify devices where configuration files should be collected, then creates entries as needed for the Assure1 Gather Configurations Agent application (GatherConfigurations). This is an automated utility that can be utilized to perform the same function as manually creating entries using the Collections UI (Configuration -> Device Configuration -> Collections).

Configuration Discovery Setup

  1. Using the Profiles UI, create a new profile or modify an existing one with the required login information and other settings:

    Configuration -> Device Configuration -> Profiles

  2. Using the Actions UI, create a new set of actions or modify an existing one with the commands needed to gather relevant information:

    Configuration -> Device Configuration -> Actions

  3. Using the Policies UI, create a new set of policies or modify an existing one with the Profile, Action, and any restrictions needed to associate the correct devices with a profile and action:

    Configuration -> Device Configuration -> Policies

  4. Enable the default Job, unless a specific configuration option is needed.

    Configuration -> Broker Control -> Jobs
