Cluster view pane

Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | Cluster | Cluster Management.

Initially, the Cluster view pane (left pane) displays a single "primary" node for the appliance you are currently logged into. As you join appliances to the cluster, replica nodes will be shown as being connected to the primary node.

The "health" indicators on the nodes and in the upper right corner of this pane provide a quick view as to whether cluster members are in an error, warning, or healthy state.

Clicking a member of the cluster in this pane displays details about the appliance and the health of the cluster member. For more information, see Appliance details and cluster health pane.

Appliance details and cluster health pane

Cluster members periodically query other appliances in the cluster to obtain their health information. Cluster member information and health information is cached in memory, with the most recent results displayed on the Cluster settings screen.

Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | Cluster | Cluster Management. In the cluster view (left pane), click (or tap) a member of the cluster to refresh the display of the right pane. From the right pane you can monitor the health of the selected appliance and perform operations against the appliance.

Table 180: Cluster health toolbar buttons
Option Description

Unjoin

Click (or tap) Unjoin to remove a replica from the cluster. For more information, see Unjoining replicas from a cluster.

NOTE:This option is only available for replica appliances.

Failover

Click (or tap) Failover to promote a replica to the primary appliance. For more information, see Failing over to a replica by promoting it to be the new primary.

NOTE: This option is only available for replica appliances.

Activate

Click (or tap) Activate to activate a read-only appliance so it can add, modify and delete data. For more information, see Activating a read-only appliance.

CAUTION: Activating this appliance will take it out of the read-only state and enable password check and change for managed accounts. Ensure that no other Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Appliance is actively monitoring these accounts, otherwise access to managed accounts could be lost.

NOTE: This option is only available for read-only appliances that are online. For example, appliances that have been unjoined from a Safeguard for Privileged Passwords cluster or restored from a backup.

Diagnose

Click (or tap) Diagnose to open the Diagnostics pane where you can perform the following:

Check Health

Click (or tap) Check Health to capture and display the current state of the selected appliance.

Restart

Click (or tap) Restart to restart the selected appliance.

Confirm your intentions by entering a Reason and clicking (or tapping) Restart.

Below the toolbar, this pane displays the following information about the appliance selected in the cluster view.

Table 181: Appliance properties
Property Description
Appliance name

The name of the appliance.

IP address

The IPv4 address (or IPv6 address) of the appliance configuration interface.

 NOTE: You can modify the appliance IP address using the web client. For more information, see How do I modify the appliance configuration settings.
Appliance type

Indicates either Primary or Replica.

Appliance state

Indicates the appliance state. For a list of available states, see Appliance states.

Disk Space

The amount of used and free disk space.

Click (or tap) View More to show or hide this additional information:

Appliance
Property Description
Serial Number

The serial number of the appliance.

Uptime

The amount of time (days, hours, and minutes) the appliance has been running.

Primary (displayed on replicas)
Property Description
Network Address

The network DNS name or the IP address of the primary appliance in the cluster.

MAC Address

The media access control address (MAC address), a unique identifier assigned to the network interface for communications.

Link Present

Displays either Yes or No to indicate if there is an open communication link.

Link Latency

The amount of time (in milliseconds) it takes for the primary to communicate with the replica. Network latency is an expression of how much time it takes for a packet of data to get from one designated point to another. Ideally latency is as close to zero as possible.

Information
Property Description
Last Health Check

Last date and time Safeguard for Privileged Passwords obtained the selected appliance's information.

Version The appliance version number.

Managed Networks

Managed networks are named lists of network segments that can be serviced by specific Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Appliances within a clustered environment. Managed networks are used for scheduling tasks, such as password change, account discovery, and asset discovery, in a clustered environment to distribute the task load. That is, using managed networks you can distribute the load in such a way that there is minimal cluster traffic and specify to use the appliances that are closest to the target asset to perform the actual task.

Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | Cluster | Managed Networks. The Managed Networks page displays the following information about previously defined managed networks. Initially, this page contains the properties for the Default Managed Network, which implicitly includes all networks and is served by all appliances in the cluster.

Table 182: Managed Networks: Properties
Property Description

Name

The name assigned to the managed network when it was added to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.

User

The name of the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords user that added the managed network.

Created On

The date and time the managed network was added to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.

Subnets

A list of subnets included in the managed network.

NOTE: Double-click (or double-tap) an entry in the Managed Networks grid to display details about the subnets associated with the selected managed network.

Managed By

The name of the appliances and the MAC address assigned to manage the specified subnets.

Description

The descriptive text entered when defining the managed network.

Use these toolbar buttons to define and maintain your managed networks.

Table 183: Managed Networks: Toolbar
Option Description
New Add a managed network. For more information, see Adding a managed network.
Delete Selected

Remove the selected managed network from Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.

 NOTE: You cannot delete the Default Managed Network.
Refresh Update the list of managed networks.
Edit

Modify the selected managed network configuration.

 NOTE: You can not modify the Default Managed Network.

Resolve Network

Locate an IP address in a managed network's list of subnets. For more information, see Resolving IP address.

Adding a managed network

Use the Managed Networks page on the Cluster settings view to add managed networks, which can be used to distribute the task load in a clustered environment. It is the responsibility of the Appliance Administrator to define and maintain managed networks.

To add a managed network

  1. Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | Cluster | Managed Networks.
  2. Click (or tap) Add.
  3. In the Managed Network dialog, provide the following information:

    1. Name: Enter the display name for the managed network.

      Limit: 50 characters

      Required

    2. Description: (Optional) Enter information about the managed network.

      Limit: 255 characters

    3. Subnets: Click (or tap) Add to specify the subnets, or group of hosts, to be managed.

      Enter each subnet using CIDR notation. For example, 0.0.0.0/0.

      NOTE: You can add a subnet to only one managed network. You will receive an error if you attempt to add the same subnet to another managed network. If you are unsure if an IP address has already been associated with a managed network, use the Resolve Network search box. For more information, see Resolving IP address.

    4. Managed By: Select the appliances to be used to manage the specified subnets.

      NOTE: You do not need to specify an appliance when you initially define a managed network. You can use the Edit button to specify the managing appliance at a later time.

  4. Click (or tap) OK to save your selections and add the managed network.
