Marimba Self Service

• Existing ways of deployment

– Push : Deployment manager

– Pull / On Schedule : Policy / channel schedule

– Channel Store

• Introducing new way to deploy packages

Marimba Self Service

• New ‘Self service’ capability in transmitter to offer ‘agentless/generic packages’ over web

• Tight integration with current transmitter authenticator

– User with subscribe permissions can download channels

– Channel store users (org specific) too can download channels

• Administrator can define user/group for categories; restrict users on what they can download

• If tuner is installed on the machine, it brings down the channel

• If tuner is not installed on the machine, the channel would come down as ‘agentless’ and will send scan report as soon as it comes down; helps in license management

• Intend to replace all ‘parallel infrastructure’

Note: Agentless/Generic package uses ‘existing’ marimba infrastructure (and strategy)

Advanced Replication Monitor

Advanced Replication Monitor

• Infrastructure “Readiness” has always been a critical factor for any deployment

• Updates in source transmitter must get replicated to all mirrors/repeaters before deployment is triggered

• Different ways to track replication status

– ISM

– MRK tool – Repmon

• Introducing “advanced replication monitor”

• Inbuilt capability in transmitter

• Configure mirrors/repeaters to ‘POST’ replication status on schedule to configured transmitter (can be a repeater, mirror, master or ‘Inserter’)

• Mirrors/repeaters will generate replication report and sends that to configured transmitter

• Connect to transmitter over http://<hostname>:5282/?repmon to get replication status of infrastructure in a nice UI (easier to read, search)

Steps…

• Configured repeater/mirror to send replication status to ‘defined transmitter’

• transmitter.requests.report.enabled=true

• transmitter.requests.report.repstatus.enabled=true

• transmitter.requests.report.repstatus.url=http://inpulw013039a:5282/?repstatus

• transmitter.requests.report.repstatus.timeout=1

• transmitter.requests.report.repstatus.interval=1

• transmitter.requests.report.repstatus.days=1

• Connect to ‘defined transmitter’ over http http://inpulw013039a:5282/?repmon

• Lists down all mirrors/repeaters with replication status

• Selecting the host will give details on replication • Channels not in sync

• Extra channels

• Missing channels

Marimba Drift Manager

Page 28: July 2014 CMUG Minutes

Copyright © 2013 Symphony Teleca Corp. All rights reserved. CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY 28

Marimba Drift Manager

• New channel to identify, report and fix drift

• A Service-Plugin channel to work on schedule and provide ‘drift report’

• Define factors for identifying diff

– Files, directories

– Applications, registries

– Marimba channels, settings, configuration

• STEPS

– Define Golden Machine by setting a tuner property

– Define what to capture and what to enforce

– Golden machine will capture relevant data (XML) and sends that to plugin

– Other endpoints will get the XML from plugin, generates one from local machine, identify the diff and sends the diff back to plugin

– Plugin keeps the diff in ‘configured location’

– New transmitter query http://hostname:5282/?diffmanager to show report in UI
