Current onboarding flow
Sadapp uses invitation-driven onboarding for agents. A server record is created only after first successful telemetry connect and backend binding.
- Create invite from Add Server.
- Agent starts with invite token.
- First telemetry POST binds invite to an actual server record.
- UI marks onboarding complete after backend confirms first heartbeat.
SNMP onboarding lane
SNMP-first devices are added directly as managed servers through the SNMP lane and then enriched by polling cycles.
Use this lane for network devices, appliances, and non-agent hosts.
Operator notes
- Invitation page remains part of operational workflows and audits.
- Access and ownership should be set after initial heartbeat and hostname stabilization.
- Use server details to validate telemetry freshness before assigning alert policies.
