Browser Access to Data Collector and Transformer

The web browser used to access Control Hub must be able to reach the following components:
Authoring engines
Authoring Data Collectors and Transformers accept inbound connections from the web browser when you design pipelines using Pipeline Designer.
Execution engines
Execution Data Collectors and Transformers accept inbound connections from the web browser when you complete the following tasks:
  • Capture and view snapshots in an active Data Collector job.
  • Monitor real-time statistics on the Realtime Summary tab for an active Data Collector or Transformer job.
  • Monitor error records encountered by a pipeline stage in an active Data Collector job.
  • View the execution engine log when monitoring an active Data Collector or Transformer job.
  • View configuration properties, active Java threads, metric charts, logs, and directories when monitoring a Data Collector or Transformer from the Execute view.

Configure network routes and firewalls so that the Control Hub web browser can reach the URLs of registered Data Collectors and Transformers.

If registered Data Collectors and Transformers are installed on a cloud computing platform such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), configure them to use a publicly accessible URL as described in Publicly Accessible URL for Data Collector or Publicly Accessible URL for Transformer.

If Data Collector containers are provisioned on Kubernetes, you must expose the container outside the cluster using a Kubernetes service as described in Defining a Deployment YAML Specification.
Tip: To ensure that the Control Hub web browser has access to registered engines, click Execute > Data Collectors or Execute > Transformers in the Navigation panel, and then click the URL for each registered Data Collector or Transformer.
