Accessing the Monitoring app

To access the Monitoring app, depending on your setup, go to one of the following addresses in a browser:

http://[DMA]/monitoring
https://[DMA]/monitoring

Alternatively, you can browse directly to the IP of the DMA using Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari. If you do so, depending on your default application settings, either a redirect to /monitoring will occur, or a landing page will be displayed from which you can open the Monitoring app.

From DataMiner 10.2.9/10.3.0 onwards, you can also access the Monitoring app from the apps pane in DataMiner Cube.

Caution

If you use a DataMiner version prior to DataMiner 10.1.7, we strongly recommend using HTTPS when you use DataMiner client applications over public internet. If you do not do so, all information – including logon credentials – is sent as plain, unencrypted text over the internet. From DataMiner 10.1.7 onwards, client-server communication is encrypted by default. See also: Setting up HTTPS on a DMA.

The first time you start the app, you will be asked to enter your credentials. To log on automatically in the future, enable Keep me logged in.

If two-step authentication is enabled, when you log on, a challenge will be shown to which you will have to respond. If your response is not correct, you will be redirected to the logon screen.

Once the login is successful, you can start working with the Monitoring app.

Note
  • Along with the other DataMiner web apps, you can upgrade the Monitoring app separately from your main DataMiner installation. This means that you can for example have a DataMiner System using version 10.3.4, while you already use version 10.3.5 for the web apps. You can download the web apps upgrade package from DataMiner Dojo.
  • You can add this app to the home screen of a mobile device. The way this is done depends on the device and browser used. For example, when using Chrome on Android, you can add the app to the home screen by browsing to the app and then selecting Add to Home screen in the Chrome settings.
  • If WebSockets are supported and available on the server, the app will use a WebSocket connection to retrieve element information. Otherwise, it will fall back to polling every 5 seconds.
  • The Monitoring app can also be made available via a gateway server. See Dashboard Gateway installation.
Tip

In many browsers, it is possible to install the Monitoring app as a standalone app on your computer, using the install button on the right side of the browser address bar. You can then for instance pin the app to your taskbar or add a desktop shortcut to quickly open it.

Accessing the Monitoring app via dataminer.services

If you have been granted remote access to a DataMiner System via dataminer.services, you can connect as follows:

  1. Go to the public URL of the remote DataMiner System. See Remote access.

  2. Log on to dataminer.services. See Logging on.

  3. Log on to the remote DataMiner System using your DataMiner login credentials.

    Note

    If your DataMiner account is linked to your dataminer.services account, you will be logged in automatically with that linked DataMiner account.

  4. Click the Monitoring icon.
