The ZEN Master screen is used to add the current ZEC to an existing Broadcaster Cluster in Zen Master that has been configured for "Manual Scaling". This process involves pre-configuring a "manual scaling" Broadcaster Cluster in ZEN Master, then, still in ZEN Master, creating a manual ZEC within this cluster, and then finally from the ZEN screen of the current ZEC UI, selecting the previously created Broadcaster Cluster and ZEC (that we had created though the ZEN Master UI). This process will generate a connection between the logical representation of the ZEC in ZEN Master and the ZEC system.
To connect the current ZEC to ZEN Master:
- In ZEN Master, create a "manual scaling" Broadcaster Cluster and add a Broadcaster entity to it by following these steps - Adding a Broadcaster Cluster – Manual Scaling.
- In ZEN Master, in the main navigation, click Settings.
- In the SSH Keys tab, click Download on the relevant SSH Key to download the key to your machine.
- Login to the ZEC UI (it could be a locally installed ZEC, e.g. http://localhost:4444 or a remote ZEC).
The ZEC UI opens. - Go to Settings > ZEN Master.
The ZEN Master login fields are displayed. - In the Account ID field, enter the customer domain of your ZEN Master account (e.g. if you login to ZEN at demo.zen.zixi.com then your Account ID is 'demo').
The user cannot be an SSO (Single Sign-On) user. If you are using an SSO account, you will have to create another user to sign in through this screen.
- In the Email field, enter the username for your ZEN Master account.
- In the Password field, enter the password from your ZEN Master account.
- Click Login.
A list of Broadcasters configured in ZEN Master is displayed. - For the Broadcaster that you are adding, which should currently be in Pending mode, click Select.
Details about the Broadcaster are shown in the Status - Click Refresh.
The connection is configured automatically. - In ZEN Master, in the main navigation, click Broadcasters.
- Verify that the status of the newly configured Broadcaster cluster is OK.
- Verify that the status of each Broadcaster that was added to the cluster has changed from Pending to OK.
