When you start the WSO2 EI Analytics Dashboard server, the URL to access the dashboard is displayed in the start up logs as follows.
INFO {org.wso2.carbon.uiserver.internal.deployment.listener.AppTransportBinder} - Web app 'portal' is available at 'https://<IP_ADDRESS>:9643/portal'
You can change this URL to display a host name instead of the IP address and/or to display a different name for the web UI application instead of portal
. To do this, follow the topics below:
Changing the IP address to a host name
To display a host name instead of the IP addess in the URL to access the EI Analytics Dashboard, follow the steps below:
- Open the
<EI_HOME>/wso2/analytics/conf/dashboard/deployment.yaml
file. In the
wso2.transport.http:
→listenerConfigurations:
section, change the value for the host parameter to the required hostname (e.g.,dashboard-server
).Note that in this example, you are specifying a host name for the
http
URLs. If the web UI application you are accessing has anhttps
URL, you need to make this change for the listener configuration with thehttps
scheme.wso2.transport.http:
transportProperties:
listenerConfigurations:
- id: "default-https"
host: "dashboard-server"
port: 9643
scheme: https
keyStoreFile: "${carbon.home}/resources/security/wso2carbon.jks"
keyStorePassword: wso2carbon
certPass: wso2carbon
If you make the change shown in the above example, the URL to access the EI Analytics Dashboard is displayed in the start up logs as follows:
INFO {org.wso2.carbon.uiserver.internal.deployment.listener.AppTransportBinder} - Web app 'portal' is available at 'https://dashboard-server/portal'.
Changing the web UI application name
To change the web UI application name displayed in the URL to access the EI Analytics Dashboard, add a new section as follows in the <EI_HOME>/wso2/analytics/conf/dashboard/deployment.yaml
file.
wso2.carbon-ui-server:
apps:
# configurations for the Portal app
"portal":
contextPath: "/ei-dashboard"
In this example, the context path for the portal
web UI application is specified as ei-dashboard
. Therefore, when you start the EI Analytics Dashboard server, the URL to access the EI Analytics Dashboard is displayed in the start up logs as follows:
INFO {org.wso2.carbon.uiserver.internal.deployment.listener.AppTransportBinder} - Web app 'portal' is available at 'https://<HOST_NAME>:9643/ei-dashboard'.
