• Service Version - versioning number of the Admin service
• Client Version - versioning number 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 Admin 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 - local computer store name where the certificate is installed
    • Find Type - criteria by which the Admin 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 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 - rate at which the 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 a remote Historian server by specifying the machine name or IP address. Multiple destinations can be specified by separating server names 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.
