Assign Devices to a Service Engine

Only users with the SuperAdmin access level may deploy and manage service engines.

See Service Engines to learn about service engines and their use.

Before you start, you'll probably want to create a functional group to hold all of the devices that you want to assign to the service engine in question, and then assign those devices to that group. This step isn't strictly necessary, but it does make things more convenient.

Procedure

To assign a managed device to a service engine, follow the steps below.

1. Log in to Netreo as a user with the SuperAdmin access level.
2. Go to the main menu and select Administration > System > Service Engines to open the Service Engine Administration page.
3. Select Assign Devices to Remote Pollers/Collectors to open the Assign Devices to Remote Poller/Collector Service Engines page.
4. Select a functional group  to narrow the device selection options to the devices in that group.
   • Selecting None will display all devices that do not belong to a functional group.
   • Selecting Everything will all devices that belong to any functional group.
5. Use the Search box to filter the devices, if necessary. (Selected devices will remain selected while the list is filtered.)
6. Tick the checkbox next to the device name to select it, or tick the checkbox in the column header to select all devices in the list.
7. From the dropdown below the device list, select the service engine to which the devices should be assigned. (Devices are allowed to be assigned to different service engines for different functions.)
8. Select Assign Selected Device(s) to assign the devices to the service engine.

Netreo will now task that service engine with collecting and processing data for the selected devices.

Remember to configure any devices on your network that normally push their associated data to Netreo (traffic flow and logs) to push it to the IP of the service engine.
