Enabling ztC Advisor

Note: ztC Advisor was discontinued in December 2023. If you have not already done so, disable ztC Advisor on the ztC Advisor preference page by clearing the check box next to Enable ztC Advisor and clicking Save.

Enable ztC Advisor for a ztC Edge system to allow administrators to remotely monitor the system's health in the ztC Advisor dashboard.

ztC Advisor is a secure web-based portal that provides centralized visibility of your entire fleet of ztC Edge systems. Through an intuitive, user-friendly dashboard, you can assess at a glance, the health, resource usage, and software version of each system. For more information about registering for and using ztC Advisor, see the following web page: https://www.stratus.com/solutions/ztc-advisor.

Prerequisite: The ztC Edge system must be registered with Stratus and have an Internet connection to be monitored in ztC Advisor. You can enable ztC Advisor at any time, but system health information appears in the dashboard only when the system is registered with Stratus and connected to the Internet.

After enabling ztC Advisor as described in the following procedure, you can log on to the ztC Advisor dashboard and view the status of your system at the following web page: https://ztcadvisor.stratus.com.

To enable ztC Advisor for a ztC Edge system

  1. Click Preferences in the left-hand navigation panel to open the Preferences page.
  2. Under Administrative Tools, click ztC Advisor.
  3. Activate the check box next to Enable ztC Advisor.

  4. Optionally type an Alias Name for the system.

    By default, the dashboard lists each system by its Asset ID; however, you can also assign an alias to the system to provide a more descriptive name and make it easier to locate in filters and searches. The alias name can be up to 64 characters in length and include any combination of letters, numbers, and special characters.

  5. Click Save to save the settings and enable monitoring.

After you save the changes, the system appears in the ztC Advisor dashboard within a few minutes.
