8.2.16. Cloud Server
The central Cloud Server feature of the ip.buffer allows central management of all
configured ip.buffers with a standard web server. This is particularly useful for 'Managed
Services' deployments where out-bound web browsing is allowed on customer sites.
The ip.buffer issues a requests (either with http or https) to the server. The server can
respond and deliver:
•
Lua script updates
•
Firmware upgrades
•
Configuration changes
•
Requests for diagnostic dumps
•
Requests for log files
•
Time synchronisation
•
Reboot requests.
•
Data to be injected in the Source channel of the ip.buffer
Firmware 2.93 adds two additional Cloud Servers that can be used for data
and alerts. However, Cloud Server #1 is the only one that handles the central
management.
