After the Catalyst Centers have been enrolled to Catalyst Center Global Manager, you can view all the Catalyst Centers on the Controllers page.

There are two ways to navigate to the Controllers page.

• From the Overview page, click on the controller health status.

• Alternatively, from the System > Controllers page.

Then select the controller name to view more detailed information.

Note

The health status of the controller may take up to 10 minutes to be displayed.

The Controllers page displays these details:

Note

• Controller—Name of the Catalyst Center controller.

• When the controller is upgraded to the latest version, the System version column on the controller page will automatically display the new updated version.

Click one of the Controllers to view the controller details. The Controller Details window appears, and you can click any link to cross-launch to the controller page for further information.

The Controller Details include:

• Controller name: Shows the controller name, which is displayed as an IP address.

• By default, the controller name is populated during enrollment using the configured hostname, VIP address, management IP address, or Enterprise interface IP address for the Catalyst Center controller. However, you have the option to update the name to a customized one using the Edit feature on the controller page.

  Note

  You can edit only the Controller name and the edited name is visible only on the Controllers page within the Catalyst Center Global Manager, and it will not propagate to the controller itself.

• View details: Shows the cross-launch link to System 360.

• IP Address: Shows the IP addresses of all the controllers that have been added to Catalyst Center Global Manager.

• Connectivity: Shows whether the controllers are reachable or unreachable.

• Health status: Shows the health of all the controllers.

• Description: Shows the domain system certificate, an alert or a description of any system health event for all the controllers.

• Type of controller: Shows whether the controller is Catalyst Center.

• Enterprise VIP: Shows the virtual IP address of the controller.

• Cluster configuration: Shows whether the controller is single-node or 3-node.

• System Version: Shows the software versions running on Catalyst Centers.

• Cloud Member ID: Shows the Cloud member ID of the controller.

• Last collected on: Shows the controller details collected date.

Note

• You can edit only the name of the controller.

  The name will determine how the controller is labeled in Catalyst Center Global Manager, but it will not be reflected on the controller itself. This is strictly a UI setting and does not affect the configuration of the controller. Additionally, this name will not be visible when you cross-launch to the controller.

  If you want to edit the controller, click one of the Controllers name that you want to edit. The Controller Details window is displayed. Click Edit and change the name of the controller and then save.

• You can edit the table settings.

  You can decide what you want to see and what you want to hide from the Controllers page. For this, the table settings for the Controllers page can be adjusted by clicking the gear icon in the table header. The Table Settings window appears. You can check or uncheck the items under Table Density and Table Columns based on your requirement and click Apply.

For information about adding and deleting a controller, see Enroll Catalyst Center to Catalyst Center Global Manager.

Once a controller is added to the controller page, it appears in the list as a "Pending configuration" controller. When a controller is in this status, you cannot edit any of its fields. To modify any user-provided information, the controller must be deleted and then re-added with the corrected details.

The Controllers page displays various types of cross-launches in the Controller Details for each controller. These include system 360, system health, and software management.

Cross-launch is available from all pages within the Catalyst Center Global Manager. With a single login to the Catalyst Center Global Manager, you can access all registered controllers without the need to log in again.

The System Health provides detailed information about the health of the selected Catalyst Center from the Controllers page.

When you click System Health in the Controller Details window of the selected controller, the system cross-launches to the corresponding Catalyst Center page.

The Software Management displays the available installed applications or system updates of the selected Catalyst Center from the Overview page.

When you click Software Management in the Controller Details window of the selected controller on the Overview page, the system cross-launches to the corresponding controller page.
