RedSeal

Connection Requirements

1 - IP

Hostname or IP address of the RedSeal server (appliance).

2 - Port

Port number (optional, default: 443).

3 - Username

The username of the RedSeal account used to connect. The account must have the Model Admin role to read hosts and network devices through the REST API.

4 - Password

The password of the provided username.

5 - Is Secure

Choose this if your connection is going to be over HTTPS (optional, default: True). RedSeal is HTTPS-only.

6 - Timeout

Request timeout in seconds (optional, default: 600). RedSeal operations can be slow, so a generous timeout is recommended.

7 - Thread Count

This adapter enriches each host with a detail and a metrics request in a multi-threaded manner. This field is the number of parallel threads used (default: 32, min: 1, max: 32).

8 - Sleep Time

Delay in seconds between thread batches (optional). Increase if the appliance struggles under concurrent requests.

Permissions Required

The connecting account must have the Model Admin role. RedSeal is delivered as an on-premises hardware or virtual appliance; there is no cloud/SaaS deployment.

Attention

Please perform a connection test to ensure there is a valid connection to the RedSeal server. When the discovery operation is finalized you will be able to see the details on the Assets page.
