Watchdoc - Activate the centralised configuration

Principle

Watchdoc enables various configuration items to be synchronised between the master and the slaves.

When configuring the master server, the Global parameter is used to replicate the configuration of certain configuration items on the Slavic servers included in the domain. This parameter can be activated for the following configuration items:

  • Printing queues

  • Pricings

  • Directories

  • Filters

  • Securisation profiles

  • Notifications

  • Release profiles

  • Security profiles

  • Telemetry (data communication to WSC - Supervision Console)

Once activated, centralised configuration cannot be deactivated.

Procedure

To enable replication from one of these elements from the master server to the slave servers:

  1. in the Watchdoc master administration interface, select the configuration item to replicate;

  2. click on the Edit properties button for the configuration item to be replicated (group of files and directories in the example);

  3. in the General information section, tick the Global box ;

  4. click Validate to save the configuration:

 

→ Once a master server setting is declared as Global, it is directly replicated on all the Watchdoc servers.

→ Once a setting is replicated, the Global check box can't be unchecked.

→ The logo reports on the Master server configuration items replicated on the other servers.

→ The logo specifies on other servers that the item is configured on the Master server.
