7. Remote access via SSH

You can activate different types of access via the remote maintenance protocol SSH. As a general rule,
a) access to the console and b) direct login to the instances are supported. Access to the root system
user is possible but not recommended or supported since it is very easy to damage the configuration or
the software through doing so.

7.1 Activating instance login via SSH

You can activate access to the command line of the individual monitoring instances, enabling you to view
and control the entire environment of the instance.
This access is controlled via the instance administration. In the settings dialogue of each individual
instance, you can activate and deactivate access as well as set a password to protect access.

7.2 Activating console via SSH

It is possible to activate access to the console of the device via the network, enabling you to view and
adjust the basic configuration of the device even without direct access to the device.
You can enable access via the configuration dialogue of the console. To do this, select the menu item
Activate console via SSH.
