Quick Start
Overview
Understanding how the LCC® - Linux Control Center works is an essential step to ensure a successful implementation and an efficient onboarding process in your environment.
In this Quick Start guide, we will cover the basic operation of the tool, as well as the initial steps that should be performed right after installing the LCC.
Basic Operation of LCC
LCC is an orchestration solution for Linux systems. It features a Web Console through which commands can be sent to the Worker module, which is responsible for executing various user-requested actions. Additionally, LCC includes an Alert & Report module that generates alerts and detailed logs of all actions performed via the Console or by the Worker, providing a comprehensive and centralized view of all executed operations.
The essential step for the LCC onboarding process is importing the Hosts to be managed into the database. This task can be performed using the Discover feature or by importing Managed Assets through integration with BeyondTrust PasswordSafe. Only after importing the Linux Hosts will the LCC be able to execute all available Actions.
It is possible to handle Microsoft Windows Hosts, which are treated as Unmanaged Hosts, with limited actions restricted to executing PowerShell scripts via WinRM.
How to Request a Community License
LCC® - Linux Control Center offers a Community License that allows free usage of the LCC, limiting only the number of managed hosts, which is set to 25 hosts total.
