Cisco Spaces: Connector 3.0
Cisco Spaces: Connector (referred to as Connector in all subsequent references in this document) is a fully redesigned version of the Connector with
the capability to efficiently manage multiple services that connect to different network devices such as Cisco Wireless controller
and switches for data. The Connector platform makes it easy to add/remove new services from the cloud. It enables enhanced
troubleshooting with debugging, log upload, and restart functionalities from the cloud. Connector also provides detailed metrics
for each service with CPU, Memory, Connectivity and Up/Down status.
Connector is the next generation connector of Cisco Spaces that provides an enhanced user experience, architecture to support
multiple services, simplicity, modularity, seamless upgrade and High Availability. Connector supports an active-active High
Availability setup. Unlike the earlier releases of Connector 2.x, you can specifically configure and monitor the High Availability
pair. All services and device configurations are managed at the Connector level to make it easy to pair with High Availability.
The Connector and device status is also aggregated at the Connector level from each instance for easy monitoring. Connector
provides full visibility to each instance of a High Availability pair. You can view how the services are running on each instance,
their upgrade status and so on. You can also perform actions on a particular instance, such as restarting of services.
