Configuring Client and Sentinel EMS

Sentinel Connect helps in the quick onboarding of a Client (Tenant) to Sentinel EMS. So, the first step in Sentinel Connect configuration is to establish a link between the client and Sentinel EMS. This is done by providing details of the client being on-boarded and details of the Sentinel EMS instance provisioned for the client.

After a client’s purchase order is successfully processed, the client and order details flow to Sentinel Connect. You need to enter these details in Sentinel Connect and verify that the details are correct.

1.In Sentinel Connect, click Client Management in the left pane to open the Client Management page.

2.Click Add Client to open the Add Client page. The Client tab is selected by default.

3.Enter the client details in the Info section (all the details are mandatory):

Field	Description
Name	Name of the client that you want to connect with the Sentinel EMS.
Email	Email address of the client (tenant).
Client Code	The code assigned to a client. This code is used to represent the client in Sentinel Connect dashboard graphs and charts. It can have a maximum of four alphanumeric characters.

4.Enter details of the EMS instance hosted for the client in the EMS Details section (all the details are mandatory):

Field	Description
Username	The username for the Sentinel EMS login.
Password	The password for the Sentinel EMS login.
URL	URL of the Sentinel EMS instance hosted for the customer.

5.Click Verify to initiate the Sentinel EMS credential verification and ensure that configurations are correct. Sentinel Connect displays a successful message if it is able to establish a connection with Sentinel EMS, otherwise, it displays an error.
