Configuring the Discovery Agent

Using the Discovery Agent : Configuring the Discovery Agent

You configure the Discovery Agent using the Riverbed Cloud Portal.

To configure the Discovery Agent

1. Obtain the client ID and client key from the Riverbed Cloud Portal. For details, see Obtaining the client ID and client key from the Riverbed Cloud Portal.

To associate a virtual server running the Discovery Agent with the SteelHead-c in the same optimization group, enter the client ID and client key manually using the Discovery Agent Windows user interface or the Linux configuration script.

Ensure that you use the client ID and the client key that you copied from the Optimization Group Member Details page in the Riverbed Cloud Portal.

The SteelHead-c and the virtual server use the client ID and client key to identify themselves when communicating with the Riverbed Cloud Portal. By default, the Discovery Agent establishes communication with the Riverbed Cloud Portal.

If you are using a different portal (than the Riverbed Cloud Portal), you must configure the Discovery Agent to communicate with your portal.

If you are not using a portal at all, configure the client ID and client key in the Discovery Agent. For details, see the online help in the Discovery Agent Windows interface or the README file on the Linux server.

2. To configure the Discovery Agent on your Linux server, see Configuring the Discovery Agent on Linux servers.

To configure the Discovery Agent on your Windows server, see Configuring the Discovery Agent on Windows servers.
