Description |
Default installation point |
This field determines whether this installation point is used as system default or not. If default installation point = Yes, this installation point is used as a default installation point in Miradore. |
Accessible from Internet |
This field describes whether this installation point is accessible from Internet or only from the company VPN. |

Main: Media status
Attribute name |
Description |
Media master |
Determines whether this installation point is a media master or not (Yes/No). The media master is used as comparison basis for media status reporting and replication. The files are replicated from the media master to all other installation points within the same Miradore instance. Only one media master can exist at a time. |
Media status |
Media status describes the status of the files at the installation point. Media status can be one of the following:
|
Reported |
This field displays the date
and time when the files at this installation point were last time
compared with the files at the master installation point. Click
the |
Schedule |
This field defines the running interval and allowed time frame for reporting of this installation point. Running interval determines how often the files at the installation point are compared with the files at the media master installation point. Allowed time frame determines when Miradore is allowed to perform reporting for the files at this installation point. Use "hh-hh" format to define the allowed time frame (e.g. 22-06). Only full hours can be used to define the time frame. If these field are left empty, the default values from Miradore system settings are used.

Summary |
This field shows summarized
information about the files at the installation point. Click the
|
Means that media status is 'Out-of-sync'. According to the
file scan performed by the installation point's management
client, the files at the installation point are out-dated
or out-of sync when compared with the files on the media master
installation point. Enable media replication feature from
the installation point form in order to get the files up-to-date
and synchronized with the media master.
Means that media status is 'Up-to-date'. According to the
file scan performed by the management client of the installation
point, the files at the installation point are up-to-date
and synchronized with the files on the media master installation
point.
Means that media status is 'Unknown'. If the status of installation
point files cannot be resolved, due to an error, for example,
then the installation point media status is set to “Unknown”.

Description |
Replication enabled |
This field defines whether the replication is enabled for this installation point or not. If the replication is enabled, the files are replicated from the parent installation point to this installation point according to the defined schedule if the files at this installation point are out-of-date when compared with the files at the media master installation point. |
Write authentication |
This field allows to define the username and password that are used to authenticate to the network share. Make sure that the account has write permissions to the network share. The administrator username used for installation point replication. This setting overrides the default user name defined in the system settings that would be used for installation point replication. The administrator password used for installation point replication. This setting overrides the default password defined in the system settings that would be used for installation point replication. Show characters check box determines whether the password is shown or not. Password is kept hidden if the check box is not checked. Note! If you use special characters in the password, only following special characters are allowed `~!@#$*-_+:?/.[]{} This field is optional. |
Schedule |
This field defines the running interval and allowed time frame for reporting and replication of this installation point. Running interval determines how often the files at the installation point are compared with the files at the media master installation point and how often the replication tasks are executed. Allowed time frame determines when Miradore is allowed to perform reporting or replication for the files at this installation point. Use "hh-hh" format to define the allowed time frame (e.g. 22-06). Only full hours can be used to define the time frame. If these field are left empty, the default values from Miradore system settings are used. (Administration > System settings > Main > Installation management > Installation point replication settings) |
Replication settings |
Maximum concurrent child replications defines how many concurrent child replications are allowed for this installation point. More than specified amount of installation points cannot replicate from this installation point at once. |
Max replication bandwidth |
This field defines, in kilobytes per second, a limit for maximum allowed bandwidth use for file replication on this installation point. Enter "0" if you wish not to set any limits. The default value in this field, is inherited from "System settings > Installations management > Installation point replication settings > Default maximum bandwidth use for replication". |
Exclude files |
This field allows to enter names of the files that should not be replicated from the installation point to the other installation points. Use ';' as a separator between multiple file names. Notice: Miradore Management Suite automatically excludes some log files and configuration files from file replication. |
Inherited exclude file rules |
This field displays the file exclusion rules inherited from the parent installation point(s). |
Exclude folders |
This field allows to define folder names that should not be replicated from the installation point to the other installation points. Use ';' as a separator between multiple folder names.
