Security Analytics and Logging (OnPrem) App Installation

Use the App Manager in Central Management to install Security Analytics and Logging (OnPrem). We recommend that you use Chrome or Firefox for your browser.

  1. Log in to your Manager.

Important

We support installing the app on an Manager as a standalone appliance (Single-node), or an Manager that manages a Flow Collector and Data Node(s) (Multi-node). You cannot install the app on an Manager if it manages one or more Flow Collectors without managing Data Node(s).

App Compatibility with Secure Network Analytics

When you update Secure Network Analytics, the app that is currently installed is retained; however, the app may not be compatible with the new Secure Network Analytics version. Refer to the Secure Network Analytics Apps Version Compatibility Matrix to determine which app version is supported by a particular version of Secure Network Analytics.

You can have only one version of an app installed on a Manager. Use the App Manager page to manage your installed apps. From this page you can install, update, uninstall, or view the status of an app. Refer to the following table to learn about the possible app statuses.

Since it is possible that a newer version of an app exists and is not listed in App Manager, always check to see if a newer version is available in Cisco Software Central.


Important

When you are updating to a later version of an app, simply install the newer version over the existing version. You do not need to uninstall your existing app.
