Configuring sites: Brokering
Configuring a broker
Once you have configured a broker in Lens, this broker then needs to be associated with a site. This is because a single broker can be responsible for multiple sites. Or each site may need its own broker. It completely depends on the environment and the configuration of the Lens platform.
To set a broker for the site:
Login to the application
In the left sidebar, select
Configuration
then click theSettings
optionSelect the
Manage site
item from theSites and Collectors
sectionSelect the site you would like to edit from the dropdown menu
Click the
Brokering
tabScroll down to the
Broker
sectionIn the
Use broker configuration
field, select the broker configuration you created previously. See this article for more.Scroll to the bottom of the page
Click the
Save
button
Webhooks
Webhooks help make the Lens application smarter. As Lens is not a connection broker, we do not always know when certain events happen. If the broker supports it, then it’s highly recommended to configure webhooks.
Importing broker desktops
The Lens Portal supports importing desktops from some brokers. Currently, the supported brokers are:
Leostream Broker
This will show all desktops that are present in the supported broker.
To enable this feature:
