Why use the Edge

The Connect+ Edge allows to monitor any device on a local network that supports local management, via HTTP APIs, SNMP or other supported protocols.

Using the Connect+ Edge allows access and control of devices that do not have a native Management Cloud or who's Managment Cloud offers limited data and control functionality.

What is the Edge

The Connect+ Edge is a software package that can run on any Linux / Mac machine or on any machine capable of running a virtualized Linux container. The Connect+ Edge comes by default as a Docker Container and can be easily and securely installed via a simple shell script.

Where to set up an Edge

An Connect+ Edge should be setup on each physically disconnected location on a machine that is capable to have local network access to each of the devices to monitor. For example, for a large campus an Connect+ Edge might be required for each campus location - for each vLAN/LAN to which monitored devices are connected.
