Get Started With the Satellite Module
The Deploy satellite module enables the execution of deployments on remote data centers.
Install and Configure a Satellite Server
This topic provides information on how to install and configure a satellite server.
Add a Satellite Server
This topic covers the prerequisites and steps required to add a satellite server configuration item (CI) to the Deploy repository.
Configure Satellite Communication
This topic covers how to configure communication between Deploy satellites and the Deploy master to ensure secure and effective operations.
Configure Secure Communication With Workers and Satellites
This topic explains how to configure secure communication between Deploy master, workers, and satellite servers using TLS/SSL technology.
Install Deploy Satellite as a Service
You can install and run Deploy Satellite as a service on your Unix or Microsoft Windows machine. The satellite service wrapper requires Java Development Kit 8 or higher to be installed on the target Unix or Windows machine.
Upgrade Satellite Servers
This topic provides information on upgrading Deploy. When you upgrade to a new version of Deploy, you must also upgrade your satellite servers to the corresponding version of the satellite distribution ZIP.
Restart a Satellite
This topic explains the necessity of restarting a Deploy satellite after synchronizing plugins. The restart ensures that Java classes, scripts, rules, and other resources are properly loaded into the JVM, and it resets the satellite's internal state.
Assign Satellites to a Host
This topic explains how to assign satellites to a host, detailing the steps necessary to ensure effective communication and deployment across multiple environments.
Create a Custom Step on a Satellite
This topic describes how to create a custom deployment step in Deploy using Java
Use Satellite Groups
You can define groups of satellites that are logically connected together, for example: several satellites that are installed in the same datacenter.
View Satellite Group Information
The satellite group summary screen displays a set of basic information about the satellite group, the state of the satellites, and a list of infrastructure items connected to the satellites.

Synchronize Plugins With a Satellite Server
This topic describes the requirement to synchronize Deploy with satellite servers if you add, remove, or update a Deploy plugin or extension before performing a deployment.
Ping a Satellite
This topic describes how to check the connection between Deploy and a satellite by pinging the satellite. This process tests the entire network and application stack and check your parameters.
Add Satellite JMX Counters to Nagios
This topic describes how to configure Nagios to pick up JMX counters from Deploy Satellite.
Using JMX Counters for Deploy Satellite
You can use the Java Management Extensions (JMX) technology to manage and monitor your Deploy Satellite servers. With JMX counters you can keep track of the resources that the Deploy Satellite server is consuming.
Troubleshoot Satellites
This page describes common satellite errors and their solutions.
How Satellites Affect the Deployment Plan
This topic covers how satellite servers affect a deployment plan.
