Find out how to configure your Dashboards instance to accept incoming connections

Objective

Public Cloud Databases allow you to focus on building and deploying cloud applications while OVHcloud takes care of the database infrastructure and maintenance in operational conditions.

This guide explains how to configure your Dashboards instance to accept incoming connections.

Requirements

  • A Public Cloud project in your OVHcloud account
  • A Dashboards service running on your OVHcloud Public Cloud Databases (this guide can help you to meet this requirement)

OVHcloud Control Panel Access

  • Direct link:
  • Navigation path: Public Cloud > Select your project > Analytics

Instructions

Configure your Dashboards instance to accept incoming connections

Before making a connection, we need to verify that our Dashboards instance is correctly configured. Click on Analytics in the left-hand navigation bar and select your Dashboards instance.

Step 1: Verify your user roles and password

Select the General information tab and Reset the password of avnadmin user, which comes with the Admin role, in the Login information section.

Info

Other users can be created in your Dashboards instance web UI, from the Users tab of the Server Admin panel.

Step 2: Authorise incoming connections to your Dashboards instance

Warning

For security reasons the default network configuration doesn't allow any incoming connections. It is thus critical you authorise the suitable IP addresses in order to successfully access your service.

In this step, select the Authorised IPs tab. IP addresses must be authorised here before they can connect to your serbice.

Clicking on Add an IP address or IP address block (CIDR) opens a new window in which you can add single IP addresses or blocks to allow access to the service.

Add an IP

You can edit and retract database access via the ... button in the IP table.

Info

If you want to allow connections from the outside, you can enter the IP 0.0.0.0/0. Please use it carefully.

Connect to your Dashboards Instance

In your Dashboards instance, collect the URI in the Login informations section of the General information tab.
