Settings
Settings holds a user’s own settings, the organisation’s settings and the fleet server’s settings, in 3 groups. It is opened from the cog in the icon rail, and Back to app returns to the dashboard. Every user can open it. Organisation is shown to an Owner or Admin, with Connectivity checks shown to every platform user as well, and Fleet server to users in the platform organisation, the one that manages the fleet server. A user who can read a section and not change it sees its fields disabled, with You have read-only access, so these settings cannot be changed. See Organisations for the platform organisation and Users and roles for who can change what.

Connectivity target test
A target can be tested from the fleet server before it is saved.
- Press Add target. A form opens.
- Type an Address and a Label, and choose Ping, or TCP connect with a Port.
- Press Test now. The answer appears beside the button: Reachable with a time in milliseconds, or No answer, Name not found, Invalid address or Try again in a minute.
- Press Add target on the form to add it to the list, then Save targets.
TCP connect is for networks that block pings. It opens a connection to the port and closes it.
See Server configuration for every default, range, and when a change takes effect. The stale threshold is the one setting that changes what the dashboard shows: a terminal past it reads Outage. See States.
