Continuum Local
Continuum Local
Continuum Local is an agent you run inside your own network. It lets Continuum Link read on-premise systems that are not exposed to the internet, and it can sweep your network for SNMP devices. The Continuum Local guide in the Blueprintr user guide covers installing, configuring and running it.
It is the on-premise half of Continuum Link and sits behind the same gate: the organisation that owns the agent needs an Enterprise plan (a team's agent uses its parent organisation's plan), and you need continuum_integrations.manage on that organisation or team.
Continuum Local is separate from Continuum Cloud. It discovers no cloud resources and never draws on a canvas. It serves connector panels on strata and runs network sweeps.
What it serves
SolarWinds Orion, Zabbix, PRTG Network Monitor, Checkmk, Icinga 2, ManageEngine OpManager, WhatsUp Gold, NetBox, Infoblox and Veeam Backup & Replication. Each appears in the connector list and stays disabled until an agent that can serve it is online. The connector reference lists what each one asks for and what its panel shows.
How it connects
The agent dials out over HTTPS on port 443 to blueprintr.io and agents.blueprintr.io, directly or through a proxy. Nothing connects inward, so no inbound firewall rule is needed. It suits private and firewalled networks, not air-gapped ones: a host with no outbound path to Blueprintr cannot run it. Network requirements lists every connection and port.
Credentials
Blueprintr never stores a credential for an on-premise system. By default each credential is in the agent's config.json, or in an environment variable or file it refers to, and never leaves your network. If the agent's configuration allows it, credentials can also be sent from the Continuum Local panel instead: they pass through Blueprintr to the running agent, which must be connected to agents.blueprintr.io at the time, and are kept only on the agent.
The agent relays only requests it recognises as reads for each product, and only to the hosts its configuration lists. The security model says what the agent enforces, and what Blueprintr stores, who can see it and how long it is kept.
Getting and registering it
Download the agent from the Continuum Local download page while signed in to an account on an Enterprise plan. It comes as Debian and RHEL packages, a Windows installer, a container image, a Helm chart and a single file for a host with Node.js 24, and every release is signed.
Register it from Settings → Continuum → Continuum Local on the organisation or team. Choose Add an agent, copy the enrolment token, which is shown once and expires after 24 hours, and put it in the agent's configuration. Installing Continuum Local has the steps for each platform.
Network sweeps
With a discovery block in its configuration, an agent sweeps the address ranges you allow for SNMP devices, over SNMP v1, v2c or v3. Start or schedule a sweep from Network sweeps below the Continuum Local panel. Blueprintr can narrow a sweep to some of the agent's ranges but never widen it, and the SNMP credentials stay on the agent. Blueprintr keeps sweep results for 90 days, and each agent's latest complete sweep until a newer one completes. Network discovery says what a sweep reads.
