Configure automated tasks

About this task

On the Automated tasks page, you can schedule when secure connect gateway must initiate a periodic collection, purge the collected telemetry, and validate your device inventory.

NOTE:If you want secure connect gateway to collect telemetry on a weekly basis and purge the collected telemetry based on the number of days since the telemetry was collected, it is recommended to allocate 250 GB hard drive space when you deploy or install secure connect gateway. So, if you want secure connect gateway to collect telemetry on a weekly basis, it is recommended to purge the collected telemetry based on the size of the total collected telemetry.

You can also enable or disable analytic collections.

NOTE:An analytic collection is performed on iDRAC9 or later installed with firmware version 4.00.00.00 or later, SMART capable drivers, and an active Datacenter license.

Steps

  1. Go to Settings > Automated tasks.
  2. To schedule periodic collections, ensure that the Collect system state information check box is selected and perform one of the following steps:
    • To schedule weekly collections, select the respective option and then select the day of the week on which the telemetry must be collected.
    • To schedule monthly collections, select the respective option and then select the day of the month on which the telemetry must be collected.
  3. To schedule the interval in which the collected telemetry must be purged, perform one of the following steps in the Purge collected telemetry section:
    • Select the number of days after which a collection can be purged.
    • Select the size limit of the total telemetry collected. Secure connect gateway automatically purges the oldest collection to ensure that the total size is within the limit.
  4. By default, analytic collections are enabled and performed on a random day every week at 1 a.m.. Clear the Automatically collect data for analytics check box to disable analytic collections.
  5. To schedule inventory validation, ensure that the Automatically check connections between this gateway and your monitored devices check box is selected, and then select the required day of a month.
  6. To set iSM as the default service for automatic case creation on servers globally, select Prefer iSM globally.
    Before configuring iSM, ensure the following:
    • iSM is installed, and the iSM services are running.
    • iDRAC access via Host OS is enabled in iSM.
    • SNMP trap configuration for alerts is enabled in iDRAC.
    NOTE:
    • iSM can be used as a default service for 14th generation PowerEdge servers or later. For automatic case creation, the iSM version must be 5.3 or later.
    • To configure iSM on multiple devices, you must enable Prefer iSM globally and manually run an inventory validation or wait for a periodic inventory validation.
    • Devices that connect to secure connect gateway through an adapter do not support configuring iSM.
  7. To schedule a gateway health check, select the required time and day of the week in the Check gateway health section.
    The default time for the gateway health check is 11pm everyday.
