This procedure describes how to add one or more available servers to your topology.
Subscription Information
The Topology page is available only for Frog Cloud (SaaS) Enterprise X subscriptions with multiple JPDs, and for Enterprise+ and Enterprise+ Hybrid subscriptions.
User Roles
The Topology page is available only for Primary Admin, Admin, and Technical Member roles. Any of these roles can add servers - but all servers are created with initial user credentials set to the Primary Admin email. The Primary Admin logs in to the server and invites other users.
To add servers to your cloud topology:
In the MyJFrog menu bar, click the Topology icon. When new servers are available in your JFrog Cloud subscription, the following banner appears at the top of the Topology page:
You have n servers ready to be configured.
In the notification banner, click Configure Now.
The Create New Servers dialog box appears. The active area displays configuration settings for one server. By default, this server is called Server1.
In the Deployment Type drop-down, select the type of server to create:
The drop-down displays the number of servers of each type that are available based on your subscription. For example, Platform(1/3) indicates that the new server is one of three unconfigured Platform servers in your subscription.
In the Server name field, enter a unique subdomain for the server. The domain string .jfrog.io is added automatically to create the URL of the server. This value must be a unique string 8-32 characters long that starts with a lowercase letter, and uses lowercase letters and numbers.
For a Platform or Distribution Edge server: In the Provider drop-down, select a cloud vendor to host the server. In the Region drop-down, select a region of the specified vendor.
For a Smart Archiving server: In the Associated Server drop-down, select the active JFrog Platform server to bind to this Archive server. The Smart Archiving server is assigned to the cloud Provider and Region of the active JFrog Platform server.
The Email field contains the fixed value Primary Admin email. All new servers are created with initial user credentials set to the Primary Admin email.
In the Password and Confirm Password fields, specify the initial password for the Primary Admin. Passwords must be 8-32 characters long, and use uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
To add another server, click Add Another. The configuration details of the first server collapse, and a new section opens for configuration of another server.
Repeat the steps above for each additional server you wish to configure. Click the arrow icon to expand or collapse a server definition.
Tip
It may take several minutes to process each server you add. To minimize processing time, configure and add several servers in one action, as described here.
To add the configured server(s) to your topology:
Review the server configuration(s). Settings cannot be changed after server creation.
By default, all the servers you configured are selected. Clear the checkbox of any server you do not wish to add to the topology.
Click Configure to add the selected servers.
A confirmation message appears while the servers are being added. The Topology page will be temporarily unavailable during this process. After processing, the new servers are listed with Active status.
A notification email is sent to the Primary Admin email. This email prompts the Primary Admin user to log in to the server and invite other users.
If your subscription uses Access Federation you can add the new servers to your federation topology.
