status of the broadcaster cluster possible values green (ok) – none of the broadcasters are in error state red (error) – all broadcasters are in error state orange (warning) at least one of the broadcasters is in warning state the 🔕 icon next to a broadcaster cluster indicates that the broadcaster cluster is muted, disabling notifications for error/recovery events management the type of

address of the broadcaster version the software version of the zixi broadcaster agentz indicates whether agentz has been installed for this broadcaster agent z is a sidecar tool that sits on a zixi broadcaster, it acquires the system health data and other statistics locally and pushes it to zen master by enabling this option, zen master will automatically install agentz on any existing and future broadcasters connected to the cluster the feature is off by default due to agentz installation requiring a restart, zen master will not auto install agentz on a broadcaster that already contains any inputs to avoid disturbing active streams actions the following actions are available for each individual broadcaster copy password copies the broadcaster's password to the clipboard mute disables notification for error/recovery events for the selected broadcaster set maintenance turns on maintenance mode which prevents new streams from being assigned to this broadcaster configuration

zixi broadcasters) edit – opens the configuration window for the broadcaster enabling you to edit the details disable/enable (for manual) – changes the status to disabled , meaning that any active

rule from the cluster from which the pull request was initiated to the type of redirection redirect to public ip pull requests that match this rule will be resolved by redirecting it through a public ip this is the default behavior redirect to private ip pull requests that match this rule will be resolved by redirecting it through a private ip redirect to nic pull requests that match this rule will be resolved by redirecting it to a specific nic block pull requests that match this rule will be blocked latency override the latency when the redirection rule applies latency is determined by the following order redirection rule latency > source autopull/pull target latency > default 1000ms order the order value for this rule rules are evaluated from lowest to highest order, the first rule that matches will be applied actions the following actions are displayed edit rule delete rule details tab api credentials the username and password for accessing the apis management type the
