Spotfire Ideas Portal
We have a class of devop like users who are developers and would assist in supporting production environment. We don't want to give them direct write access to modify anything in our production environment, but it is helpful for them to see everything. However, Administrative Manager seems to be all or nothing: if you can see it, you can modify it.
Since the change of the architecture, I can see that it is now possible to see the schedules rules, the messages, errors.
But I didn't find where are the messages of the status of the spotfire servers of the cluster. The messages from the nodes I could see.
So, we might find almost everything necessary on Metadata database, but when a new customer has a recent installation of the product, if the customer doesn't have any experiense consultant on Spotfire, the customer would have to understand the metadata database to build its views/dashboards.
But some views, like the monitor view shows statistics like number of connected users, number of connections for each JDBC source, memory status, etc., wich are not on the metadata database This is one view that can be set without great permissions of changes to the user, but it still gives the permission to change the log configuration.
It would be good if this features existed out of the box.
We have been exposing the Spotfire Metadata database since v4.5 and we found little to no changes affecting our custom database views. What part are you stuck with?
It's a very good point, and that's what we currently are trying to do right now. However, this is quite a bit of trial and error, and there is no guarantee that in the next Spotfire iteration, the table changes enough for it to be required to be re-built.
Can be done building views on the Spotfire Metadata database and exposing them in Spotfire reports.
