Overview of DESK Managed components

The basic DESK Managed components are illustrated in the image below.

DESK Managed cluster

Your DESK Managed cluster is responsible for monitoring one or more environments. It includes at least one node with DESK Server installed (typically you create more than one node in a cluster). Each DESK Managed cluster is associated with one Cluster Management Console. Thus, each DESK Managed cluster is associated with:

One or more nodes (and therefore one or more DESK Server instances)
One or more monitored environments (and therefore one or more instances of DESK OneAgent)
One Cluster Management Console

Each time you want to set up a new cluster, you need to obtain a license. All your DESK Managed clusters communicate with Mission Control for maintenance and licensing issues.

DESK Managed installer

The DESK Managed installer provides all the conveniences offered by the DESK cloud on your own infrastructure and enables the monitoring of application services, processes, and on-premises infrastructure. The DESK Managed installer is comprised of the following components:

DESK Server
Cassandra
Elasticsearch
An embedded ActiveGate
NGINX

DESK Server is installed on the first node that you create when setting up your cluster, as well as on any additional node.

Cluster Management Console

For each Managed cluster you set up, there is a dedicated Cluster Management Console. Cluster Management Console is a web-based user interface for efficiently managing your DESK Managed infrastructure. From here you can view the deployment status of your DESK Managed cluster setup at any time.

Managed deployment

With the Cluster Management Console, you can:

Mission Control

DESK Mission Control provides pro-active support for maintenance and licensing issues. With automated support from our Mission Control team, your DESK Managed installation is updated automatically. Our Mission Control team can also help you with troubleshooting if you run into problems.

DESK OneAgent

DESK OneAgent is installed on each monitored environment. DESK OneAgent is responsible for collecting all performance data within your monitored environment and sending the data to DESK Server.
