SKOOR Dashboard installation

Prerequisites

SKOOR Web Service is installed
SKOOR RPM repository is available

Installation

Install the dashboards from SKOOR RPM repository using yum:

$ sudo yum install eranger-dashboards

On top of that the SKOOR Engine UI configuration file needs an additional configuration item dashboard_url:

/etc/opt/eranger/eranger-ui.cfg

dashboard_url   = /skoor-dashboard/#/dashboards

Please check if configuration files with the extension .rpmnew are present, replace the original ones or merge the content if required:

# ls -l /opt/eranger/eranger-dashboards/*.rpmnew

Update

Update using yum:

$ sudo yum update eranger-dashboards

Smoke test

The dashboard web application needs to be accessible at https://<host>/skoor-dashboard.

Please perform a test login using an SKOOR user account to verify that the web application is able to communicate with the web service.
