Installing Alerts User Interface

The Alerts user interface lists alerts caused by any events that trigger your threat intelligence thresholds. These alerts are how you are notified that an event needs your attention.

You must install the Alerts user interface manually. To install and launch the Alerts user interface, complete the following steps:

  1. Copy incubator-metron/metron-interface/metron-alerts/target/metron-alerts-METRON_VERSION-archive.tar.gz to the desired host.

  2. Untar the archive in the target directory.

    The directory structure will look like:

    bin
      start_alerts_ui.sh
    web
      alerts-ui
        package.json
        server.js
        web assets (html, css, js, ...)
  3. Start the Alerts user interface by entering the following command:

    ./bin/start_alerts_ui.sh -p <$PORT_TO_RUN_ALERTS_UI> -r <$METRON_REST_URL>

    For example:

    ./bin/start_alerts_ui.sh -p 4200 -r http://$METRON_HOST:8082

    The script will generate output similar to the following:

    Metron alerts ui is listening on
    http://127.0.0.1:4200
    http://10.200.4.205:4200
    http://192.168.66.1:4200
    Show less
  4. View the GUI at the following url:

    http://$HOST_NAME:4200

    The default credentials are admin/password.
