NetEye Satellite Requirements¶
A Satellite is a NetEye instance which depends on a main NetEye installation (either Single Node or Cluster), called Master, and carries out tasks such as:
execute Icinga 2 checks and forward results to the Master
collect logs and forward them to the Master
collect assets with GLPI Agents
forward data through NATS
collect data through Tornado Collectors and forward them to the Master to be processed by Tornado
Besides those mentioned in Requirements for a Node, there are a few other requirements that a satellite must satisfy:
It is required that both the Master and the Satellite be equipped with the same NetEye version
The NATS connection between Master and Satellite is always initiated by the Satellite, so please ensure that the Networking Requirements for NATS Leaf Nodes are satisfied
If you are in a NetEye Cluster environment, check that all resource are in started status before proceeding with the Satellite configuration procedure
Note
For successful registration of NetEye Satellites in NetEye, any network security device (firewall, proxy, IDS/IPS, HTTPS inspection appliance) MUST NOT intercept, replace or modify SSL/TLS certificates used by the registration traffic. SSL/TLS inspection, SSL offloading or certificate substitution will prevent successful registration. Ensure TLS connections are passed end-to-end without modification.
