Installation Instructions

After the Plugin Manager finishes installing the dashboard, execute the following steps to add a tab in up.time:

1. On the system where up.time is installed, open the following file for edit:

          [up.time_root_dir]/GUI/incidentConsole/lib/main.js

2. At the top of the file, change the values of the variables so that the dashboard can connect to the up.time API. The following are the variables:

// Monitoring Station Host 
var uptimeHostArray = ['localhost'];

// Username used to login
var uptimeUserArray = ['admin'];

// Password used to login
var uptimePassArray = ['admin'];

// API Port, default 9997
var uptimeAPIPortArray = [9997];

// API Version
var uptimeVerArray = ['v1'];

// Whether SSL is enabled.  true by default
var uptimeSSLArray = [true];

// Monitoring station's HTTP port
var uptimeHTTPPortArray = [9999];

3. Verify if the dashboard works by going to the following URL in a browser:

          http://[up.time_host]:[up.time_port]/incidentConsole

4. Login to the monitoring station UI

5. Click on the "Config" button at the top

6. Click on "up.time Configuration" on the left

7. Paste the following into the configuration text box:

myportal.custom.tab2.enabled=true
myportal.custom.tab2.name=Incidents
myportal.custom.tab2.URL=/incidentConsole/

Depending on how many custom tabs you already have in My Portal, you might need to change "tab2" to an appropriate value.

8. Click the "Update" button

9. You should now see a new tab in My Portal

Note: IE sometimes goes into quirks mode which cause the dashboard to fail. Either force IE to disable quirks mode or use another browser such as Google Chrome.
