Clicking any setup option redirects you to the corresponding setup page. For example, clicking Agent Setup takes you to the page with details for setting up the Cloudamize Agent.
Assessment Plan
Throughout the assessment, the Assessment Plan details are displayed:
Here, the start and end dates for your assessment license are displayed; these are the dates that the assessment was first provisioned and the date that access to the assessment will be closed. A visual representation of this is included as a progress bar, and the number of days remaining until assessment closure is also displayed.
The start and end dates for your assessment license are shown here. These indicate when the assessment was first provisioned and when access will end. A progress bar visually represents this, along with the number of days remaining until assessment closure.
If you need to extend your assessment for any reason, the Extend Plan link directs you to the Cloudamize Helpdesk, where you can request an extension. Please note that the responsibility for final approval for extensions varies depending on the nature of your license. Cloudamize Helpdesk can advise in all cases
Data Processing
Data processing displays the start, end dates and Data Center region that specifies in which AWS region the data will be stored, along with a Stop Data Collection button. Clicking this button halts data collection, which then shows as disabled in the console inventory settings.
Assessment Status
The current Status of the assessment is displayed:
Your assessment will begin in this state before adding infrastructure.
Once you have added all infrastructure via Agents, Agentless, etc., you can click the Start Assessment button to confirm infrastructure, choose regions, and set collection and delivery dates, beginning the assessment. Guide here.
During the collection period (after start, before final processing begins), the progress of the collection is displayed here. Please note that the clicking on Stop Assessment will stop the assessment from running.
Once full results are delivered, you can access them through the View Result button here.
If your assessment is stopped for any reason after the start, you can see this here and start the assessment again.
If your assessment is delayed, it will be displayed in this manner. You can click the link to contact the Cloudamize Helpdesk regarding this.
