Hello,

I am new to EPM - I have just watched the Administrator BTU videos. I am deploying demo environment: 3 ubuntu VMs in cloudshare that I need to manage from Pathfinder. The Pathfinder interface looks way different to the one shown in the BTU materials.

Since now, I installed&activated epml client packages at the cloudshare VMs (which is nicely covered in the documentation). I do not know yet how to scan for them from the Pathfinder interface.

Could you point me to the proper source explaining how to proceed? Is there any guide available for Pathfinder?

Thanks!

Tomasz

Hi Tomasz. I’m unsure what you mean by “scan from the Pathfinder interface”. Once you have run `pbactivate` then the endpoint is active and being managed by the policy. You should be able to see the endpoint in the Endpoint Management Page

 

Unfortunately, the BTU videos are behind in terms of reflecting the current pathfinder UI.

Hi Leon! Thanks for your quick reply. That’s what I hoped for (though in the training videos it was Host Inventory rather than Endpoint Management and there was an option to scan for hosts). Yet I have only one endpoint listed in the Endpoint Management section and no buttons to add more.

The endpoint I see in my Endpoint Management section is listed under xx.xx.xx.xx IP while my 3 VMs have the following public IPs: xx.xx.xx.xx, xx.xx.xx.xx and xx.xx.xx.xx. Therefore I don’t know what actually the endpoint I see is.

Hi ThomazK, sorry for the delay. The IP’s that are in the 10.0.0.0 range will the the instance internal IP’s and the ip’s you posted are the public ip’s. You should be able to match the external IP’s with the internal ones using whatever VM management console you have. Or by logging into the instances and checking against the local network device with somthing like `ip addr show`

Also, it’s probably not a good idea to post publicly routeable IP’s to a forum like this, you should edit those out.
