When you use the embedded remote support feature, choose from the following configuration options:
Insight Online direct connect and Insight Remote Support central connect.
Insight Online direct connect
Register a server directly with Insight Online without the need to set up an Insight Remote Support
centralized host server in your local environment. Insight Online will be your primary interface for remote
support information.
Insight Online is a Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center feature that enables you to view your
remotely monitored devices anywhere, anytime. It provides a personalized dashboard for simplified
tracking of IT operations and support information, including a mobile dashboard for monitoring when you
are on the go.
Insight Remote Support central connect
Register a server with Hewlett Packard Enterprise through an Insight Remote Support centralized host
server in your local environment. All configuration and service event information is routed through the
host server. This information can be viewed by using the local Insight RS Console or the web-based view
in Insight Online (if it is enabled in Insight RS).
