13. Management The console server has a small number of Manage reports and tools available to both Administrators and Users: • Access and control authorized devices • View serial port logs and host logs for those devices • Use SSH or Web Terminal to access serially attached consoles • Control power devices (where authorized) All other management console menu items are available to Administrators only. 13.1 Device Management Note: The manage devices UI has received substantial updates in firmware version 3.12. To display managed devices and their grouped serial, network and power connections: • Select Manage: Devices or click the Manage Devices icon in the top right of the UI. • Admin-group users are presented with a list of all configured managed devices and their constituent connections. User-group users only see the managed devices where they have been explicitly permitted access. • The Status column displays the current status for each related connection (e.g., active users for serial connections and power status for RPC outlet connections) with links to detailed status. • The links in the Actions column are used to control the managed device (e.g., connect to a console session or power cycle - power actions are not performed until the action has been confirmed via pop-up message). • The Administrator will be presented with a list of all configured managed devices, whereas the User will only see the managed devices they (or their Group) have been given access privileges for. • Alternately, select the Serial tab for an ungrouped view of permitted serial port connections for the current user. • An additional Signals column displays the current state of the serial pins. Note: To use the Connect: via SSH links, your computer's operating system must recognize the ssh:/ / URI scheme and have a protocol handler configured (e.g., an SSH client like SecureCRT). 13.2 Port and Host Logs Administrators and Users can view and download logs of data transferred to and from connected devices. • Select Manage: Port Logs and the serial port number to be displayed. • To display host logs, select Manage: Host Logs and the host to be displayed. This will display logs stored locally on the console server memory or USB flash memory. 211
