Concerto Deploy Lifecycle Overview

Honeycomb View

In the left menu bar, select Deploy to display all sites in Honeycomb view. This is the default view and is indicated by the Honeycomb icon at the top of the screen.

Each site is displayed as a hexagon in the honeycomb. The types and colors of the lines of each site hexagon have different meanings:

• Dotted line—There is no communication between the Director node and the device site.
• Gray line—The device has never connected to the Director node through the ZTP process.
• Other colors—The lines around each site hexagon are color-coded to indicate the highest-level active security alarm for the site:
  • Red—Critical
  • Orange—Major
  • Gray—Minor
  • Blue—Informational

The hexagon view displays the following information:

 

The Gear icon indicates that the publication status requires you to take an action. Hover over the Gear icon to see the required action. The publication status messages are:

• Pending Publication—An appliance's configuration profile has not been published to Versa Director.
• Failed Publication—An appliance's configuration profile was not successfully published to Versa Director.
