REPSTANCE WEB USER INTERFACE

In both AWS and Azure environments the Repstance virtual machine is delivered with preconfigured Web User Interface (Web UI) application, which is used to fully maintain and monitor Repstance Server using web browser. 

This method can be used instead or along with the CLI or REST API commands. Any configuration changes that were performed via Web UI will be also available through the CLI or REST API commands and vice versa.

Getting Started with Repstance Web UI

To connect to the Web UI using the HTTPS protocol open the following address in web browser:

where <RepstanceDNS> is the “Public DNS” of Repstance Instance. If “Public DNS” is not configured for the instance, the “Private IP” address should be used instead. The default port number is 3000.

The username is “repstance”. The default password in the AWS environment is the Instance ID and the VM Id in the Azure environment.

The following example shows how to find Web UI connectivity parameters in the AWS environment.

The link to the Web UI and the default credentials for this example will be the following:

The “Repstance DNS” and the port number can be changed by editing “proxy_url” and “proxy_port” entries in the /opt/repstance/ui/config.json file.

The password is stored in the /opt/repstance/conf/repstance.conf file (“token” entry) and can be changed by editing the “token” entry.

How to Work in Web UI

Web UI is an alternative way to configure, maintain, monitor and troubleshoot replication processes.

The functionality is allocated onto three tabs, which are:

• Database Configuration
• Process Configuration
• Wizard

The start page of Repstance Web UI is “Process Configuration”. It displays general information about all existing Repstance Processes, created by any available way – using Web UI, repcli or REST API (see chapter Process Configuration for more information).

If there are no any existing Repstance Processes yet, then Wizard mode will be suggested (see chapter Wizard mode for the details).
