To monitor live events and generate reports for Key Systems Security Asset Manager entities on remote Security Center, you must configure a Security Center Federation™ host.

Before you begin

  • Understand Federation™.
  • Deploy the plugin and integrate the third-party Key Systems Security Asset Manager system with Security Center on each remote site.
  • To view destination cabinets and assets from a federated system, you must first create an instance of the plugin on the Federation™ host.
  • Read the release notes to learn about known issues and limitations that affect the use of Federation™ for this plugin.

Procedure

  1. Open Config Tool on the server that host Federation™.
  2. Add the Key Systems Security Asset Manager license.
  3. Install the Key Systems Security Asset Manager plugin.
  4. Create the plugin role.
    Leave the role disconnected. Creating the plugin role adds the Key Systems Security Asset Manager entities to the host.
  5. Set up a Security Center Federation™.
    Create a Federation™ role for each remote site that hosts the Key Systems Security Asset Manager plugin role.
  6. Deactivate and then re-activate the Federation™ role.
    The Key Systems Security Asset Manager entities from remote systems are displayed in the entity browser of the Federation™ host. If the entities are missing, restart the main server for the Federation™ host.
  7. In the Monitoring task, add the entities to the event monitoring list.
