2min

Define the Element Type properties shown below, so that Single Connect can identify the OS of the discovered instances:

  1. Navigate to Device Management > Element Type.
  2. Click the Options button of the related element type and click Show Properties.
  3. Set the device.import.gcp.element.type.pattern, device.import.azure.gcp.protocol, and device.import.gcp.ssh.username properties.

Parameter Name

Parameter Value

device.import.azure.gcp.protocol

Mandatory. This property is used to determine the default access method for the discovered instances.

device.import.gcp.element.type.pattern

Mandatory. The pattern can be defined as multiple in one element. This pattern is checked against the “Image” description of the instance in order to determine the OS type.

device.import.gcp.ssh.username

Mandatory for log in. Not required for device import. This username is used as the default log in credential.

device.import.gcp.port.number

Optional. Devices are imported with the defined port number value. If this value is not set, a default port number is used, such as 22 for SSH.

Defining a new Element Type for each OS type is required, in order for Single Connect to autodetect devices. Ex: CentOS Linux, Ubuntu Linux, etc.
