📈Managing your instance
When working with your own instance you have access to two special accounts.
admin
backoffice
The initial passwords of these accounts are contained in the config file.
With these accounts you get access to a dashboard that allows you to monitor and maintain your instance. The dashboard is accesible from the Ellipsis Drive UI when logged in as one of these users.
The dashboard consits of two sections
A dashboard to manage users
A dashboard to check system health
Kubernetes
Ellipsis Drive runs on Dockers and is compatible with Kubernetes. It is possible but not required to manage the scaling of your instance using Kubernetes.
User dashboard
In the user dashboard you can see the total storage of a user and manage their quotas. You can also find information on usage intensity and other statistics.
System health dashboard
In the system health dashboard you are able to see the current status of each of the Ellipsis Drive nodes as well as past cpu and memory usage. You can also see to which degree you still have space left on your active raster and vector data storage nodes.
Difference between admin and back office accounts
With the admin account you are able to access any piece of content you have in the system, regardless of the permission settings that the creator of the piece of content has set on it. With the back office account you are only able to see system metadata and manage users, but not able to actually access user content itself.
Trouble shoot
In case your Ellipsis Drive instance is not performing well we recommend the following procedure.
Head to the system health dashboard and undertake the following actions if the conditions hold true.
