The first user to sign up in Private flex.bi will get the System Administration access rights. If you want to add the system administration rights for existing users, then find the user in System Administration / All Users page, edit it and select System admin checkbox. If a user is a system administrator then on the top right corner there will be System Administration menu visible.
A system administrator can access all eazyBI accounts data as well as perform additional system administration tasks that are described below.
Settings
In the Settings page you can edit the database connection parameters and the Private flex.bi license.
All users
A system administrator can search all users, see accounts that they own or have access to as well can completely delete user. When deleting user then only user data are deleted, owned accounts still remain in system.
From all users list system administrator can click on user accounts to switch and see data in these accounts.
Pages
A system administrator can create additional static pages or local help pages.
After clicking the Create new page button you should enter page name. E.g. if you will create a page with a name example-page-name
then you will be able to access it with URL /flexbi/pages/example-page-name
(which should be prefixed with your host name to get full URL).
If you would like to create local help page then prefix page name with help/
. E.g. a help page with a name help/example-help-page
will have a URL /flexbi/help/example-help-page
.
In the page body you can use Markdown formatting as well as HTML fragments. Click Preview button to see how your draft page body will be rendered.
System events
By default all failed flex.bi web requests are logged in system events as well as report and dashboard creation, update and delete events. Event name describes type of web request that failed.
create.calculated_member.eazybi
update.calculated_member.eazybi
pivot_table.query.eazybi
select_set.query.eazybi
connection.olap.eazybi
process_action.action_controller
Background jobs
There are several background job queues in flex.bi:
- regular_import – for source application imports that are scheduled at a regular frequency.
- application_import – for source application imports that are started manually.
- file_import – for uploaded source file imports.
- dashboard_email – sending emails for dashboard email subscriptions.
You can see the status of background job queues (as well as currently running background jobs) from the flex.bi System administration / Background jobs page.
By default, one parallel background job can be executed in each queue. If you would like to increase the size of the queue, then specify size
setting for this queue in config/eazybi.toml
file, for example:
[job_queue.application_import]
size =
2
If you would like to limit that no background jobs are executed during some hours then specify either disabled_hours
or enabled_hours
setting, for example:
[job_queue.application_import]
disabled_hours =
"9-18"
or
[job_queue.application_import]
enabled_hours =
"0-9,18-24"
In both cases, manual data imports will not be done from 9:00 to 18:00 (using the default flex.bi server time zone).
If you change disabled_hours
or enabled_hours
setting, then it will be checked each 10 minutes. If you change size
setting then you need to restart Private flex.bi.
Database migrator
You can do database migration by following database migration guide.
Troubleshooting
If you are encountering problems with import or system performance, you can examine the .log files.
