# Deploy a Site Collector (Tenable.sc only)

The deployment of a site collector happens in two parts:&#x20;

* First you will download the image and deploy it in your environment.&#x20;
* After you have completed the deployment, the collector will require an activation key.&#x20;

The steps are shown in this section and the next section.

### Download a Site Collector & Generate an Activation Key

#### Step 1:&#x20;

* Log in to your Epiphany account if you're not already logged in.&#x20;
* In the left menu, expand **Source Management** and select **Configuration**.\

#### Step 2:&#x20;

* Enter information about the new collector:
  * **Name**: the name of the collector. You can name it anything you like.
  * **Site**: the location or address of where the data source is located.
  * **Notes**: any additional information.
* Select **Save**.

#### Step 3:&#x20;

The steps above provision a new site collector in the **Site Collectors** pane.&#x20;

* Select the **Actions** button for the site collector you just created.

![Select the Actions button. ](https://4132260347-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Ftkp3obVDMu3n9ZTUpfEP%2Fuploads%2FMQ1BJjTkSjrPKn2g5DXt%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=34222384-e04c-4e4f-ae54-293b733bbaa1)

* From the **Actions** drop-down, select **Download Image.**

![Select Download Image.](https://4132260347-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Ftkp3obVDMu3n9ZTUpfEP%2Fuploads%2FZBdEevBIU5XJZVgMHfbL%2Fstep%206%201.png?alt=media\&token=de1ca2bd-f6ef-4305-92b2-bb3670e74726)

{% hint style="info" %}
The site collector image is approximately 2.6 GB. You should expect about a 20-minute download time over average business class connections. You will need to uncompress the site collector.
{% endhint %}

#### Step 4:&#x20;

* From the **Actions** drop-down, select **Get Activation Key**.&#x20;

![Select Get Activation Key.](https://4132260347-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Ftkp3obVDMu3n9ZTUpfEP%2Fuploads%2F2cPlBduxzMCueAiMasZR%2Fstep%207.png?alt=media\&token=a80b59fd-ff59-4cfc-afab-39f7de006447)

{% hint style="warning" %}
The activation keys are one time use. If you close the **Activation Key** window, you will need to generate a new key.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

#### Step 5:  <a href="#step5" id="step5"></a>

The Activation Key will be generated and displayed for your site collector. Copy the key for your records. Do not close the window. &#x20;

![Activation Key.](https://4132260347-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Ftkp3obVDMu3n9ZTUpfEP%2Fuploads%2Funt5xQMrd7eUPjv1So11%2Fstep%208.png?alt=media\&token=62af7dcf-b21d-4767-93c7-fbce6e09dfdc)

{% hint style="info" %}
If you did close the window, repeat Step 4 to generate a new key. Once you create a new activation key the previous one is void.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### Activate Your Epiphany Site Collector

#### Step 6:&#x20;

Upon booting the Site Collector Image for the first time, an interactive login prompt displays.&#x20;

* Enter the default login credentials for a fresh image:&#x20;
  * **LOGIN:** config
  * **PASSWORD**: epiphany

{% hint style="info" %}
Upon entering these credentials you will be prompted to update the login credentials. Epiphany does not have access to your updated password.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

#### Step 7:&#x20;

The next step is to activate the site collector using the activation key obtained in  step 4 above.&#x20;

* Enter the key in Epiphany, exactly as shown..
* Press **Enter** when complete.&#x20;

#### Step 8:&#x20;

Once the activation key is entered, Epiphany will attempt to associate the site collector image to the Epiphany processing pipeline. If this is successful, you should see **Ready** on the main status screen for both the Network and Collector.&#x20;

* Exit the Collector Setup Menu and return to your Epiphany console.

![EIP Setup window.](https://4132260347-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Ftkp3obVDMu3n9ZTUpfEP%2Fuploads%2FdLejELuotnasve9fhzJJ%2Fstep%2011.png?alt=media\&token=d902cf08-96e1-423e-a6f6-761b1943b5b5)

#### Step 9:&#x20;

You have now completed the steps for downloading and setting up the Epiphany Site Collector. In your Epiphany console you should see ACTIVE in green in the lower-right corner of the Site Collector, the Status should be ENABLED, and the LAST CHECKIN time should be recent.
