Overview
Certain management operations require a specific upgrade or content update (.enc
) file, or a certificate. Other operations, such as viewing logs, require you to load the logs to a Log repository. ArcSight Management Center can also maintain centralized repositories for files needed for host configuration and management.
By default, a number of pre-defined repositories are provided. However, you can create more repositories to suit your needs. Any repositories you create are referred to as user-defined repositories.
The following controls are used for repository functions:
-
Retrieve Container Files copies a file from one or more managed hosts to the repository.
-
Upload to Repository sends a file from your local computer (the computer running the browser) or a network host accessible from your local computer to the repository.
-
Retrieve downloads a file from the repository.
-
Upload copies a file from the repository to one or more managed nodes.
You can perform these operations using repositories:
-
Manage logs in the Logs repository
-
Manage CA certificates in the CA Certs repository
-
Upgrade a connector using an upgrade file available in the Upgrade repository
-
Apply a Content ArcSight Update Pack (AUP) on one or more connectors
-
Maintain centralized repositories of files for connector configuration and management
