Resources

To get to the list of resources, go to the left menu and click Resources.

1. List of Resources​

By default, resources are sorted by Resource Name, but you can also sort them by Date Added.

The list of resources in Fleet Control displays all the individual resources in your cloud account. Just like Cloud Account statuses, there are three statuses for resources, and it's important to note that the status of these resources is checked periodically. The three resource statuses are:

  • Online: This status means that the resource is reachable by Fleet Control.
  • Lost Connection: This status indicates that the resource is not reachable by Fleet Control. For possible reasons, please refer to this section in the Troubleshooting guide.
  • Connection Status Pending: This status signifies that the Fleet Control has not checked the resource due to errors during checking or not being run yet. If a resource's status is missing for an hour, it will be set to Connection Lost.

It's worth noting that these statuses are exclusive to Fleet Control and are only used to indicate whether we have control over the resource or not.

2. Adding Resources​

To add a resource to an existing resource group:

  1. First, click on the three-dotted button as shown below.

  2. Then, click Add to Resource Group.

  3. Finally, Select the resource group you wish to move the resource to.

To add multiple resources simultaneously:

  1. Click the checkboxes next to the resources you want to select.

  2. Then, click the three-dotted button as shown below and click Add to Resource Group.

  3. Finally, Select the resource group you wish to move the resources to.

3. Deleting Resources​

In FleetControl, resources can be added either through automatic cloud account scanning or manual onboarding via AWS Systems Manager (SSM). It's essential to understand the distinction between these methods, especially regarding resource removal.

Automatic Cloud Account Scanning:

When resources are added through automatic cloud account scanning, FleetControl comprehensively scans the entire cloud account and identifies all associated resources. Once added, these resources cannot be directly removed from FleetControl. Instead, to remove a machine, you must delete it from the respective cloud account within the cloud environment. After deletion, the resource will automatically disappear from FleetControl after a period of 2-3 days.

Manual Onboarding via SSM:

Alternatively, if a resource is manually onboarded into FleetControl using AWS Systems Manager (SSM), managing it within FleetControl becomes more flexible. You can easily delete the resource directly from FleetControl using the delete resource option.

If a user deletes a resource belonging to a resource group, FleetControl automatically removes the resource from the resource group. If the resource group contained only one resource and that resource is deleted by the user, the resource group remains, but it will be empty as there are no resources inside.

To delete a resource manually:

  1. First, click on the three-dotted button as shown below.

  2. Then, click Delete Resource.

To delete multiple resources:

  1. Click the checkboxes next to the resources you want to select.

  2. Then, click the three-dotted button as shown below and click Delete Resource.
