Create a fleet

A fleet is a named group of collectors that share one published configuration. Creating a fleet issues the install token and the supervisor bundle your collectors need to connect.

Before you start

Have a configuration with a published version. Only published versions can be deployed. See Versions & publishing.

Create a fleet

1. Go to Fleet Management and select New Fleet.
2. Configuration. Select the published configuration to deploy.
3. Version. Select the published version. The most recent published version is selected by default.
4. Name. Enter a name for the fleet. The name must be unique within your organization.
5. Token expiry. Select how long the install token stays valid: Never, 180 days, 1 year, or 2 years.
6. Select Create fleet.

After the fleet is created, the install files are available from the fleet's detail page. You can generate them again at any time.

Install token

Each fleet has an install token that authenticates its collectors. The token is included in the supervisor bundle and identifies a collector as belonging to the fleet. Rotate or revoke the token later if it is exposed or needs renewing. See Tokens & security.

Next steps

Install collectors with the fleet's bundle. See Install collectors.
