The following section describes a use case that requires the StellarOne admin to configure the
correlated components update and agent component status settings.
Scenario: You have a group of agents that are scheduled for maintenance at
the first day of every month. Since the update freqency is fixed to
"monthly", you'll need to change the default settings (daily) to
Monthly for the Agent Component Update
Schedule, to prevent the updates from impacting on the asset
operations. Furthermore, since monthly component update is viewed "normal' for this
group of assets, you'll also need to change the default settings (1 week) to at
least 1 month for the Agent Component
Status widget, so the group of assets can appear up-to-date within
the determined update frequency that fits your environment.
See the following procedures as the recommended practice:
Procedure
- Go to Scan Component Update Schedule (StellarOne),
select the frequency you want StellarOne to download the
latest scan component. It is recommended to select Daily
or Weekly if the data transmission bandwidth is limited.
Refer to Recommended Bandwidth for StellarOne
Components Update
for more information.
Note
See Configuring Scan Component for StellarOne for more detailed configuration procedures. - Go to Agent Component Update Schedule, specify the
frequency StellarOne will apply
the latest scan components to the managed group of agents. It is recommended to
select Monthly. However, you may need to adjust the
network bandwidth between the agents and StellarOne for smooth updates.
Refer to Recommended Bandwidth for StellarOne
Components Update
for more information.
Note
See Agent Component Update Schedule for more detailed configuration procedures. - Go to to specifiy 1 month. The agent component
status will appear up-to-date if the components have been deployed to the
managed agents within 1 month.
Note
It is recommended to specify a larger or the same value for the time frame compared with that of the frequency set in Agent Component Update Schedule; otherwise, the group of the agents would appear out-of-date. - Since the Agent Component Status widget only displays agents that appear Online in the Agent Connection Status widget, if the group of agents may be disconnected to StellarOne for more than the duration specified in the Manage Agent Connection Status settings, it'd be better to go to to specify 30 days after which the agents will appear offline if disconnected with StellarOne.
