      Not extra. These sites have a site controller PC for the POS with a management port and a camera PC also with a management port. I expect that we'll be adding more remote sites in the coming years and if it's available to move to MeshCentral/MeshCommander, then why not. Even the larger sites only have 5 or 6 cameras

      You had mentioned moving to single devices, but if you can access remotely, why not "no" devices?

        Vended POS, camera PC to reduce data across the VPN, UPS for local, non-fuel delivery equipment electrically isolated from the remainder of the site.

          @scotth Note that MeshCommander is built into MeshCentral. Once you get MeshCentral running, click on a device and if it has Intel AMT, you will see a "Intel AMT" tab. The content of that tab is MeshCommander.

          If you just want a Intel AMT console and connect to AMT devices on the local network or using a VPN, use MeshCommander. If you want a more completely management solution with AMT support included use MeshCentral.

          Hope it helps.

            That's clear. We have over 20 sites on VPN and will follow your advise.

              That's what I was thinking, just one central machine.

                It keeps getting sweeter. Unfortunately, I had to power down and backup my installation from March. I added drives to our hosts and will be able to spin it back up.

                And as luck would have it, ..... Windshield Time.

                        Because it was what was the choice when we started and just keep updating. Why would we change?

                          For some reason I thought you were using Fedora

                            For MeshCentral? No, always was on Ubuntu.

                                      I forgot about that too when I upgraded.

                                            What is the "correct" alternative to MongoDB on Fedora? Maybe I can build a different database binding...

                                            By the way, I just added auto-backup into MeshCentral 0.3.4-t, add this to the "settings" section:

                                            "AutoBackup": {
                                              "backupInvervalHours": 24,
                                              "keepLastDaysBackup": 15,
                                              "zippassword": "test"
                                            }
                                            

                                            This will zip a new backup every 24 hours and place the result in "meshcentral-backup". You can optionally say how many days before removing old backups and if you want to password protect the backup zip file, you can set a password. If you use MongoDB, it will call "mongodump" to backup the database and include it in the .zip file.
