User Guide
This guide aims to be the authoritative resource on how to work with the Argus user interface.
The Argus user interface provides core functionality for the service. It's written completely on top of the web services with no other dependencies. It's designed to serve most use cases, but we recognize the need to develop or integrate other visualization frameworks to serve less common use cases. We encourage you to do so and hope that the default user interface can serve as a reference implementation for further development.
Logging In
If you configure Argus to authenticate against an LDAP endpoint, it provides a simple login authentication. Enter your username, with or without your domain suffix, and your password. To initiate the login, press the Enter key or click the Login button.
If authentication is successful, you are redirected to the Dashboard listing page. If authentication does not succeed, you are notified via a banner and remain on the login page.
Logging Out
To log out, click the Logout link in the upper right corner of the screen. When logged out, you are redirected to the login page.
Objects that are associated with a user, including dashboards and alerts, are visible only to the user who created the object. You can make dashboards visible publicly to all users, but only the owner has permission to modify objects, regardless of the visibility settings.
Extra functionality, such as system management, is available to privileged users. For more information, see the management service reference.
