    Security Center:Add assets in data centers to Security Center

    Last Updated:Jun 06, 2024

    You can add assets in data centers to Security Center and manage the assets by using the Security Center console.

    Implementation

    After you install the Security Center agent on a server in a data center, you can create an Internet data center (IDC) probe and probe scan tasks on the server. The IDC probe scans servers that use the specified CIDR block in the data center at the specified interval. If the IDC probe detects servers that meet the requirements in the data center, the IDC probe automatically adds the servers to the server list on the Assets page of the Security Center console.

    Note

    Security Center allows you to create an IDC probe only on servers on which the Security Center agent is installed.

    Prerequisites

    The Security Center agent is installed on a server in a data center. For more information, see Install the Security Center agent.

    Create an IDC probe

    1. Log on to the Security Center console. In the top navigation bar, select the region of the asset that you want to manage. You can select China or Outside China.

    2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose System Configuration > Feature Settings.

    3. On the Multi-cloud Configuration Management > IDC Probe tab, click Add Probe.

    4. In the Edit Multi-cloud Configuration panel, configure the parameters and click Next.

      • Data Center: Enter the name of the data center in which the server resides.

      • CIDR Block Settings: Specify the CIDR block that the IDC probe supports for scanning. You can specify only class C IP addresses. Example: 192.168.0.10/24.

      • Period Settings: Select the interval at which you want the IDC probe to scan the server.

      • Linux Port: Specify the SSH port of Linux servers that you want the IDC probe to scan. You can specify a non-standard port.

      • Windows Port: Specify the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) port of Windows servers that you want the IDC probe to scan. You can specify a non-standard port.

      • Region: Specify the region of the server. You need to only enter a city name. The value of this parameter is displayed on the Server tab of the Assets > Host page.

    5. In the Edit Multi-cloud Configuration panel, select the server that you want the IDC probe to scan and click OK. You can select multiple servers.

    Verify results

    You can choose Assets > Host. On the IDC Probe Finding tab, you can view the details and the agent installation status of the servers that are synchronized to Security Center.

    If the IDC probe detects a server that is in the Unknown state, you must check whether the Security Center agent is installed on the server. If the Security Center agent is not installed on the server and you want to use the protection capabilities of Security Center, you can install the Security Center agent on the server. For more information, see Install the Security Center agent.

    Note

    If you no longer want the IDC probe to scan a server, you can add the server to the whitelist.

    Disable an IDC probe

    If you no longer want to use an IDC probe, you can disable or delete the IDC probe on the Multi-cloud Configuration Management > IDC Probe tab.

    After you disable the IDC probe, Security Center no longer scans the servers in the data center. If a new server is added to the data center, the server information is not automatically synchronized to Security Center.
