Configuration Server Overview
The inspectIT Configuration Server is a standalone component provided by the inspectIT Ocelot project. It can be used to centrally manage and distribute the inspectIT Ocelot agent configuration files. For this purpose, HTTP endpoints are provided that can be queried by the agents to obtain the corresponding configuration. This has the advantage that the manual administration of the configuration files is not required.
The server provides a web interface to manage all relevant settings and configurations. It can be accessed via http://<server-address>:<port>/ui/. By default, the configuration server is listening to port 8090.
In addition, a Swagger UI is provided which contains a list including documentation of the server's REST API. By default, the Swagger UI can be accessed via http://<server-address>:<port>/swagger-ui.html.
Management of Configuration Files
Since version 1.4, the configuration server uses Git and a local repository to manage the working directory. If a working directory already exists that was created by a configuration server in version 1.3 or lower, it is automatically migrated to a working directory managed using a local Git repository. No manual adjustments are necessary.
Please see Managing Configuration Files for more information on managing of the configuration files.
