Abstract

A centralized device management system for monitoring and controlling a device on granular object level in a plurality of datacenters is provided. The system includes a memory unit, a display unit, and a processor. The memory unit stores a database and a set of modules. The processor executes the set of modules. The set of modules includes a discover module, and a backup and restore module. The discover module is configured to discover a device to the device to the centralized device management system. The backup and restore module includes a backup module, a compare module, and a restore module. The backup module is configured to create backups for a configuration of the device. The compare module is configured to compare the backed up configuration with existing configuration of the device. The restore module is configured to restore the backed up configuration of the device.

Claims (76)

1. A centralized device management system for monitoring and controlling a device on granular object level in a plurality of datacenters, said centralized device management system comprising:

a memory that stores a database;

a display; and

a processor that is configured to

discover a device to add said device to said centralized device management system; and

import a .csv file to bulk upload one or more devices to said centralized device management system;

create a backup for a configuration of said device, wherein one or more changes occurred on the configuration of said device is backed up, and stored in the database as a changed version of the configuration of said device;

compare said backed up configuration with existing configuration of said device;

restore said backed up configuration of said device;

manage said device to enable from unmanaged state to managed state; and

unmanage said device to disable to said unmanaged state from said managed state.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein said processor further configured to

add a device to said centralized device management system;

modify details of said device in said centralized device management system; and

delete a device from said centralized device management system.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein said processor further configured to

create one or more templates of credentials to be used when said device is added or modified in said centralized device management system.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein said processor further configured to

generate a health monitor report, wherein said health monitor report provides a running snapshot of said device with up-to-the-minute configuration and diagnostic information;

display said health monitor report as archives which are generated as per settings by date and time; and

generate and display said diagnostic report of said health monitor report in a grid.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein said processor further configured to

enable said device; and

disable said device.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein said processor further configured to

extract vendor device configuration.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein said processor further configured to

generate health monitor reports of said device for diagnosing threats; and

update said device.

8. A system for monitoring and controlling a plurality of application specific network components on granular object level in a plurality of datacenters, wherein said plurality of application specific network components comprises a device, said system comprising:

a memory that stores a database;

a display; and

a processor that is configured to

discover a device to add said device to said system;

import a .csv file to bulk upload one or more devices to said system;

create backups for a configuration of said device, wherein one or more changes occurred on the configuration of said device is backed up, and stored in the database as a changed version of the configuration of said device;

compare said backed up configuration with existing configuration of said device;

restore said backed up configuration of said device;

manage said device to enable from unmanaged state to managed state;

unmanage said device to disable to said unmanaged state from said managed state;

create one or more templates of credentials to be used when said device is added or modified in said system; and

extract vendor device configuration.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein said processor further configured to

generate a health monitor report, wherein said health monitor report provides a running snapshot of said device with up-to-the-minute configuration and diagnostic information;

display said health monitor report as archives which are generated as per settings by date and time; and

generate and display said diagnostic report of said health monitor report in a grid.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein said processor further configured to

enable said device; and

disable said device.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein said processor further configured to

generate health monitor reports of said device for diagnosing threats; and

update said device.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein said processor further configured to

add a device on granular object level to said system;

modify details of said device in said system; and

delete a device from said system.

13. A computer implemented method for monitoring and controlling a device on granular object level in a plurality of datacenters using a centralized device management system, wherein said method comprises:

discovering, said device to add said device to said centralized device management system;

importing, a .csv file to bulk upload one or more devices to said centralized device management system;

backing up, a configuration of said device, wherein one or more changes occurred on the configuration of said device is backed up, and stored in a database as a changed version of the configuration of said device;

comparing, said backed up configuration with existing configuration of said device;

restoring, said backed up configuration of said device;

managing, said device to enable from unmanaged state to managed state; and

unmanaging, said device to disable to said unmanaged state from said managed state.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

adding, a device to said centralized device management system;

modifying, details of said device; and

deleting, a device from said centralized device management system.

15. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

creating one or more templates of credentials to be used when said device is added or modified in said centralized device management system.

16. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

generating, a health monitor report, wherein said health monitor report provides a running snapshot of said device with up-to-the-minute configuration and diagnostic information;

displaying, said health monitor report as archives which are generated as per settings by date and time; and

generate and display said diagnostic report of said health monitor report in a grid.

17. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

generating health monitor reports of said device for diagnosing threats.
