If you followed our recommended setup, you will need to configure a bastion host for SSH access to the instance as it is in a private subnet.

By default, the ec2-user account can be used to access your deployed AMI image. As part of the stand up, you should have defined a key value pair, please use this when logging in under ssh security.

Logs

• Log into the deployed AMI using the ec2-user account.

• The dashboard application runs as pi-user. you can log in as that user by running

  • sudo -u pi-user -i

• Logs are stored under /opt/pi/Dashboard/tomcat/logs/

• There are no housekeeping rules set on this folder as default, you may wish to add your own.

Restarting the Dashboard

• To restart the dashboard, please execute:

  1. sudo -u pi-user -i

  2. /opt/pi/Dashboard/dashboard.sh all stop

  3. Verify the services have stopped /opt/pi/Dashboard/dashboard.sh all status

  4. /opt/pi/Dashboard/dashboard.sh all start

  5. You may verify the the service has restarted /opt/pi/Dashboard/dashboard.sh all status

Upgrading/backing up the panintelligence dashboard

Please follow these steps when you wish to migrate your panintelligence to a new version of the software which we release regularly or if you wish to upgrade to the developer path (as found in the Marketplace)

We have created 2 scripts for you. They back up key resources which, when applied to a fresh install, will bring all of your changes.

• Log into the deployed AMI instance using the ec2-user account.

• initiate the backup

  1. sudo -u pi-user -i

  2. /opt/pi/Dashboard/s3_backup.sh --s3-bucket=<your s3 bucket name>

• restore your backup on a new host

  1. Please stop the dashboard prior to running these steps (please see restarting the dashboard)

  2. sudo -u pi-user -i

  3. /opt/pi/Dashboard/s3_restore.sh --s3-bucket=<your s3 bucket name> --zip-file=<specify path in s3>

  4. If no zip-file option is presented, the restore routine will use the latest backup.

• After you've copied the files across to your new host, you can start the dashboard. The database will automatically align to the latest version of the software.
