How to Use

This section will detail how to setup correctly the menu items and the active users chart.

After installing the application, two new menu items, Users and Services, need to be created in the Backoffice application. These will be used to integrate the dashboards using iFrame. In order to do this you have to edit the configurations.json of micro-lc-backend microservice, as follows:

"plugins": [
    {
      "id": "dashboards",
      "label": "Dashboards",
      "icon": "fa fa-th",
      "content": [
        {
          "id": "dashboards-analytics-users",
          "label": "Users",
          "icon": "fas fa-chart-bar",
          "integrationMode": "iframe",
          "pluginRoute": "/dashboard-analytics-users",
          "pluginUrl": "/data-visualization/#/users",
          "props": {}
        },
        {
          "id": "dashboards-analytics-services",
          "label": "Services",
          "icon": "fas fa-chart-bar",
          "integrationMode": "iframe",
          "pluginRoute": "/dashboard-analytics-services",
          "pluginUrl": "/data-visualization/#/services",
          "props": {}
        },
      ]
    },
]

Make sure that pluginurl is correctly configured with the desired dashboard to be shown.

Active Users Chart​

To properly configure the active user counter, you must manually create a cronjob. In this regard you can follow the following guide: Create and Manage Cronjobs.

The cronjob is used to call the Active User Updater micro service, which communicates with auth0-client to get a list of active users and update the crud active-users. To do this, the cronjob needs to be able to make curl calls, so we need to use the following docker image curlimages/curl.

danger

Auth0 Client version 3.3.0 is required in order to retrieve the number of active users.

YAML Setup​

As for the schedule field, it indicates the schedule time and it uses a CronTab expression (you can find some examples here).

Curl to call the Active User Updater microservice correctly must have specified the BASE_PATH of the project in the headers. The latter is configurable through the public variables.

danger

It is currently not possible to automatically deploy cronjobs with an application.
