CloudGenix

To add a CloudGenix management station, complete the following steps.

Step 1: Configure the Device

FireMon strives to provide up-to-date product information, however we are not always aware when vendors change their device UI. If any Configure the Device procedure differs from your device version (UI location of fields, not information needed), please consult your device's user guide.

1. Log in to the CloudGenix portal.
2. Create a View-only user account.
   1. Navigate to User Administration and click Add User.
   2. Enter a valid email address in the Email/Login ID field and set the account password in the New Password field.
   3. Set the Access to Allowed.
   4. Set the Role to viewonly.
   5. Click Save.
3. Create an Authentication Token.
   1. Navigate to System Administration > Auth Tokensand click Create Auth Token.
   2. Set Roles (optional) and Expiration Date (optional).
   3. Click Create.
   4. Click Copy.

   You must copy the full token before closing this dialog box. You cannot copy the full token from the Auth Token Manager screen.

   5. Click Close, only after you have copied the token.
4. Copy the API URL.

Step 2: Onboard the Device in the Administration Module

1. On the toolbar, click Device > Management Stations.

2. Click Create, and then click CloudGenix > CloudGenix Controller.

3. General Properties section.

Caution! To prevent errors in device group-level device maps and incorrect reporting data, all devices added in Administration must have unique IP addresses. If devices with duplicate IP addresses must be added within a domain, it is strongly recommended that those devices be separated into discrete device groups, where no duplicate IP addresses are included in the same device group. Devices with duplicate IP addresses will cause errors in the All Devices device map, and may cause incorrect data in reports, even if they are in discrete device groups.

1. In the Name box, type the name of the device as you want to see it in SIP.
2. In the Description box, type an optional description of the device being added.
3. The Management IP Address box can be left blank.

A Management IP Address is not needed, however assigning an arbitrary, but unique IP is suggested. For example, 0.0.0.0 or 1.1.1.1 with an incremental increase for each similar vendor management station used (0.0.0.0, 0.0.0.1, 0.0.0.2, etc.). If you don't enter an IP address, logs about the device are sent to a specific directory that is named after the device ID. If you have the IP address in the system it will be used to name the directory, which makes it easier for support to find. For example, a non-IP address device would have a directory with domain_deviceID (example: 1_61).

4. In the Data Collector Group box, select the IP address of the data collector group that will collect data from this device.
5. In the Central Syslog Server box, select the syslog server from the list (optional).

Syslog fields are optional if the device uses the same IP for syslog and management.
A central syslog server is required only if syslog messages come from a different IP. A central syslog server must be created before it can be assigned to a device. To track usage via syslog, the device must support Level 3+.

6. In the Syslog Match Names box, type the syslog match name (optional). You can enter multiple names separated by a comma.
7. In the External ID box, type a unique identifier to be used when the device identifier is different than what is displayed in SIP.
8. By default, the Automatically Retrieve Configuration check box is selected.

9. For Collection Configuration, enable Update Rule Documentation on Member Devices to allow Rule Documentation fields on member devices to inherit a value from the management station. Any management stations Rule Documentation field updates will override updates on the member device. A rule marked to be removed will not be updated.

4. Complete the Device Settings section.

• API URL—type the URL of the CloudGenix account.

• Auth Token—paste the copied generated authentication token.

• Enter the User Name and Password for the created user account.

5. Complete the Retrieval section.

1. Select the Enable Scheduled Retrieval check box to perform a retrieval at a set time daily regardless of change detection. Enabling will activate additional fields to complete.
   • Set the Scheduled Retrieval Time. This should be during a time of limited device activity.
   • Set the Scheduled Retrieval Time Zone. This could be the time zone that the device is located in.
2. Select the Enable Check for Change check box to perform a check for configuration changes after the specified interval, and perform a retrieval if changes are detected. Enabling will activate an additional field to complete.
   • The default Check for Change Interval time is 1440 minutes (every 24 hours). You can change the check interval time to best fit your requirements. The minimum required interval is 60 minutes (1 hour).

6. Click Save.

Devices being managed will be listed in the Discovered Devices section.
