Configure Edge View via ZEDEDA CLI

Introduction

This document details the steps involved in configuring Edge View via ZEDEDA CLI.

Prerequisites

• Ensure that Docker zcli container is running.
• Ensure you have the necessary permissions and credentials to authenticate against your enterprise.

Procedure

1. Check if 'edgeviewAllow' is set to False.

   • zcli project show <PROJECT_NAME> --edgeview

2. Create a new JSON file to enable Edgeview.

   • vi enable-edgeview.json

3. Add the following content:

   • {
         "type": "POLICY_TYPE_EDGEVIEW",
         "edgeviewPolicy": {
             "edgeviewAllow": true
         }
     }

4. Update the project:

   • zcli project update <PROJECT_NAME> --policy-config=edgeview:enable-edgeview.json

5. Check if 'edgeviewAllow' is set to True.

   • zcli project show <PROJECT_NAME> --edgeview

6. Enable Edgeview on Edge Node to create a remote session.

   • zcli edge-node start-edgeview <EDGE_NODE_NAME>
     

7. Check if the run script is created:

   • ls

8. From your local host terminal, download the run script that was created.

   • docker cp <CONTAINER_ID>:/home/zcli/<SCRIPT_NAME> <DESTINATION_FOLDER>
