Plans define the scope and schedule of deployments to target appliances.
Each plan is created for a specific set of target appliances and is deployed only once during a user-defined period. The plan to be deployed must match the product and language of the target appliances.
When a plan is deployed, Deep Discovery Director (Internal Network Analytics Version) sends instructions to the target appliances on when to download required files, and on when to execute the plan. If the plan is not deployed immediately, appliances download files and execute the plan according to a schedule with the following factors:
-
Deployment start
-
Download period
-
Execution start
All times are based on appliance local time
