• Service Version - the version of the Admin service
• Client Version - the version of the Canary Admin client connecting to the Admin service

Configuration Screen

Endpoints

The following endpoints are provided for local and remote Canary Admin access.

IPC (Local Only) - endpoint a local Canary Admin client connects to

gRPC Admin - endpoint a remote Canary Admin client connects to. Users wishing to connect remotely must be placed on the Admin Logon list within the Identity tile>Security>Access Control Lists screen.

If connecting to a local Admin service, the user does not need to be placed on the Admin Logon ACL, but is still required to authenticate.

CERTIFICATE (HTTPS)

• Kind - the kind of certificate the Axiom service is configured to use
  • SelfSignedCertificate - this is the default certificate that Canary uses. It is stored in the Local Computer\Personal store.
  • Certificate - use this option if wishing to upload your own certificate. Doing so will present more options to configure.

    

    • Store Name - the local computer store name where the certificate is installed
    • Find Type - criteria by which the Axiom service searches for the certificate
      • FindBySubjectName
      • FindByThumbprint
      • FindByTemplateName
• Subject Name - set to default if using the SelfSignedCertificate option. Otherwise, the value of the Subject, Thumbprint, or Template name if using the Certificate setting.

Settings

 Persist Last Connection - when checked, the Canary Admin client will reconnect to the last Admin service it was connected to. Unchecked, the Canary Admin will default to the localhost.

CLIENT ENDPOINTS

• Identity gRPC Endpoint - server location of the Identity service that other Canary services, local to the Admin service, connect to if requiring authorization
• Identity REST Endpoint - server location of the Identity service that Canary client tools connect to for authentication
• License gRPC Endpoint - server location of the License service that other Canary services connect to that require a license. In most cases, this should be the local machine.

DIAGNOSTIC HEALTH SYSTEM SETTINGS

Enabled - if checked, additional tags will be logged to the {Diagnostics} DataSet. These tags provide diagnostic information (i.e. memory and CPU usage) for specific Canary services that are installed locally to the Admin service.

Frequency - the rate at which these diagnostic tags are logged

Destination Historians - by default, the diagnostic tags are logged to the local historian. If no local historian exists, they can be routed to the historian server by specifying the machine name or IP address. Multiple destinations can be specified by separating historians with a comma.

Historian Writers Target - used to determine the amount of tags the historian expects to be actively writing. This number is derived from the amount of active writers over the past hour.

RESET - resets the Historian Writers Target

Properties can be attached to these diagnostic tags by providing a PROPERTY NAME and PROPERTY VALUE.
