temBoard UI howto

First connection

Once temboard is up and running, it’s time to try a first connection to the web interface with a web browser using https at the address https://<temboard-host>:8888/.

You should get a login box. The default administration account is admin, the password is admin. Obviously, this password MUST be changed as soon as possible. To edit user’s profile, please login and go to Settings -> User list then Edit on the corresponding row.

Currently, when a logged in user changes its password, the error message Restricted area... is raised, this behaviour is due to the expiration of user session when the password has been changed. Go back to the login page and fill the form with the new password.

Managing instances

You must be logged in with a user having administration privileges.

Add a new instance

For each instance you want to manage, install and configure one agent. To register the instance graphically, go to Manage -> Instances, then Add a new instance.

You must fill temBoard agent address and port. Don’t confuse with PostgreSQL server address and port. temBoard will contact the agent and present you informations to identifiy the monitored instance.

You can now configure Environment and features enabled for this instance. Each instance must be in one Environment. Environment determines which users will have access to the instance.

Manage users

Once you have an Environment and an instance registered, share management access to someone by creating a user.

Add a new user

Go to Settings -> Users, then New user. You must define the password. Only administrators can change password.

Once user is created, allow him to access to the instance by adding him to the Environment. Go to Settings -> Environments, then click the icon on the corresponding row. Click Add member in this page and search for alice. Click on username to allow him to the Environment.

Once a user has access to an environment, he can manage instances in this environment.
