Data Fabric UI

To launch the Data Fabric UI, navigate to the host that is running the WebServer in the cluster. Access to the cluster typically uses HTTPS on port 8443. For example:

https://<host-name>:8443/app/dfui

The Data Fabric UI:

• Provides GUI support for some newer Data Fabric features that are not supported by the Control System. For example, the Data Fabric UI provides a graphical user interface for administering OTel endpoints. You can also use maprcli commands to administer OTel. The Control System does not support OTel.
• Makes it easy to import external NFS or S3 servers.
• Lists resource endpoints.
• Provides additional capabilities for working with topics in a stream.

The Data Fabric UI:

• Can only be used with release 7.3.0 and later clusters.
• Displays limited information about ecosystem components.
• Is optimized to help you display and administer the resources of multiple fabrics (clusters) that belong to the same global namespace. If your customer-managed cluster is not a member of a global namespace, consider using the Control System. The Control System provides more visibility into the services.
• Has no support for streams or for JSON tables.
• Does not support creating or importing a fabric while connected to a customer-managed cluster. Fabric creation and import operations require a functioning global namespace. To create a fabric with a functioning global namespace, use the seed node installation method.
• Does not allow you to configure refresh intervals for metrics and the session rate.
• Does not expose system volumes and the APIServer logs.
• Is documented in another location. Instructions for using the Data Fabric UI are located in the as-a-service documentation. See the link later on this page.
