Installation

System Requirements

All of the listed operating systems and hardware are valid for new installations of PingPlotter Cloud Agents. 

The PingPlotter Cloud interface requires that Javascript be enabled. Supported browsers include Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox 10+. We recommend using a modern web browser that has been updated in the last 2 years.

Mass Deployment

In some situations, you may wish to deploy PingPlotter Cloud Agents to a large number of remote devices using an installation manager instead of manually creating and deploying Agents individually. These steps will help speed up the process.

Individual Agent Deployment

Once logged in to PingPlotter Cloud, you can begin creating and deploying remote Agents to the different devices you wish to monitor and troubleshoot.

In this section, we will walk through how to deploy more than one Agent using two different methods: New Install Activation and Existing Install Activation.
