Starting the Dashboard Viewer
The Dashboard Viewer can be started by running the dashboard_viewer executable, located in the Apama bin directory. The start-up options supported by Dashboard Viewer are detailed in Startup Options for the Dashboard Viewer.
When you start the Viewer, the data server login prompt appears.
By default, you can log in with any user name and password, but your user name must match the owner of any DataView items that you want to view. Your dashboard administrator might have implemented a non-default authentication and authorization scheme.
The recommended deployment for the Dashboard Viewer is through a dashboard data server. The Connect directly to correlator check box allows you to connect directly to a correlator without the use of a data server. This is not recommended for live deployments, as it is not secure and not as scalable as connections via the data server.
If all attachments and commands use named data servers, you can check the Only using named data server connections check box and omit specification of a default server.
