External SyncMon:
"External SyncMon" is a special monitoring instance that can monitor nodes and sensors of other Lantime de-
vices with activated SyncMon. When selecting the external SyncMon with IP address a list of available nodes
from that external SyncMon will be downloaded. Configuration and data will be transferred via WEB service
(curl).
Press
"Connect to external SyncMon"
will try to connect to the external SyncMon and show the SSL-Fingerprint
of that server. Check the following ssl-fingerprints received from external SyncMon. The SSL certificates will
be used by curl when https is active. To check the fingerprints open a SSH session on the external SyncMon
and compare the output of: "openssl x509 -noout -fingerprint -sha256 -inform pem -in /etc/https.pem". This is
to make sure that this is the correct device.
Then configure Username and Password to read Config from external SyncMon – the current configuration
of external SyncMon will be read via
’curl’
. Also you have to configure the WEB access protocol (HTTP or
HTTPS) and if you want to use a CA Certificate Bundle to get configuration and measured data from the
external SyncMon.
Be aware that if you use HTTPS that all data has to be encrypted and decrypted which costs a lot of CPU-
UTILIZATION for each data requesting from the external SyncMon.
Be aware if you want to use HTTP access protocol then you have to activate HTTP network service on the
internal and external Lantime. The same is with the HTTPS protocol.
