Module Interface
| Interface | Description | Required Privilege |
|---|---|---|
| System Information | Allows access to the System Information page. | mod-sysinfo |
System Tab
The System tab displays the system information details:
- Summary
- Java Settings
- MongoDB Settings
- Licence
- Loaded Modules
- Elixir Jar Build Dates
- Elixir Jars
- Other Jars
Do note that the various fingerprints and checksums will change with every release, and are likely to be different from the values that you will see.
Summary
The Summary section provides details on the Ambience software suite, such as the release date and the total number of jars, etc.
Java Settings
The Java Settings section provides details on the Java being installed in the machine.
MongoDB Settings
The MongoDB Settings section provides details on the MongoDB installed in the machine.
Licence
The Licence section provides details of the licence being used in the Ambience software suite, as well as its expiry date.
Loaded Modules
The Loaded Modules section lists all the Ambience software suite modules that are currently used. The list of modules will vary according to the licence being purchased.
Job Engines
The Job Engines section lists the job engines that are currently available.
Elixir Jar Build Dates
The Elixir Jar Build Dates section provides details on the Elixir jars and their build dates.
The fingerprints and checksums are unique for each release of each jar. This allow the detection of modifications of the jar after release. Storing these values allows you to detect tampering with the system or file corruption and is therefore both a useful diagnostic and security mechanism.
Elixir Jars
The Elixir Jars section provides details on the Elixir Jars.
The fingerprints and checksums are unique for each release of each jar. This allow the detection of modifications of the jar after release. Storing these values allows you to detect tampering with the system or file corruption and is therefore both a useful diagnostic and security mechanism.
Other Jars
The Other Jars section list the other jars used in the Ambience software suite.
The fingerprints and checksums are unique for each release of each jar. This allow the detection of modifications of the jar after release. Storing these values allows you to detect tampering with the system or file corruption and is therefore both a useful diagnostic and security mechanism.
Download
You can download the system information using the 
“Download” icon at the upper right corner of the page.
The downloaded system information has the following filename format SystemInfo-YYYY-MM-DD-<GMT Time>.json.
Artifacts Tab
The Artifacts tab shows all the artifact types along with the number of items and the checksum of their combined content. This allows you to easily see whether the artifacts are consistent between two or more servers.
There are several icon at the upper right corner of the page:
- Refresh - Allows you to refresh the page
- Download Artifacts List - Allows you to download the list of artifacts
- Download Artifacts Report - Allows you to download a report on the artifacts
The downloaded artifacts list has the filename format Artifacts-YYYY-MM-DD-<GMT time>.json. The downloaded artifacts report has the filename format ArtifactReport.jsonl.
Issues Tab
The Issues tab shows any issues caused by differences between systems in a cluster. It does this by comparing the system information between each server and highlights issues such as jar version differences or artifact changes. If there is only one system, then there will never be any issues as there is no alternate server to compare with.
The “Refresh” and “Download” icons at the upper right corner of the page allows you to refresh and the download the list of artifacts.
The downloaded system issues has the following filename format Issues.json.
