Standalone Health Dashboard deployment using JAR file

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Info

Summary: This section describes how to install and configure the Health Dashboard ≥ 2.5 in JAR file format (i.e. no web application server required).

Introduction

What is the JAR file format?

From release 2.5 onwards, CAST will deliver an executable JAR file for each CAST Dashboard, alongside the traditional WAR file that has always been delivered. The executable JAR file is a new method of deploying the CAST Dashboards based on Spring Boot and does not require a web application server (the application server is embedded in the JAR itself). In addition, the JAR file contains an interactive installer which will guide you through some of the deployment requirements. The aim of the JAR file releases is to simplify and speed up the deployment of the CAST Dashboards. The deployment and configuration of the Spring Boot based dashboards differs slightly to the steps required for traditional WAR files (see Standalone Health Dashboard deployment using WAR file).

How many Health Dashboards do I need?

CAST highly recommends that you install one Health Dashboard to display snapshot data from all your Applications whether they are stored in one or multiple Dashboard schemas. When configuring the Health Dashboard, you should therefore:

Configure a connection to one single Measurement Service schema
Consolidate data from all your Dashboard schemas in this single Measurement schema

The ZIP file is a new method of deploying the CAST Dashboards based on Spring Boot and does not require a web application server (the application server is embedded in the ZIP itself). The aim of the ZIP file releases is to simplify and speed up the deployment of the CAST Dashboards. The deployment and configuration of the Spring Boot based dashboards differs slightly to the steps required for traditional WAR files (see Standalone Health Dashboard deployment using WAR file).
