This section describes how to enable and configure our advanced analytics.
These analytics are powered by Metabase, which we ship alongside our application. To take full advantage of it, a default-collection of dashboards and questions must be loaded into Metabase on startup.
For the initialisation, Metabase requires and admin user. For this you have to set a password under adminPass. The password requirements are
At least 6 characters
At least 1 digit
The relevant block in values.yaml is
metabase: #The adminPass is needed to complete Metabase initialization and setup adminPass: "" permissions: enabled: false
This password will be used for admin@metabase.local
Then you can proceed to install the package normally by running
helm install order-management chart/order-management*.tgz --values values.yaml
or use the upgrade.sh
script to update the stack.
Note: If you decide to set the Metabase password after the initial installation, it is important to wait until all pods up and running before updating them to prevent interrupting init-jobs and data migrations.
Default-collection
After Metabase was installed, run the bundled script,
cd configure; ./load_collection.sh
This will copy the mb_dc*.tgz file onto the Metabase pod and execute the loading command.
Note: Any changes you make to the default-collection will be overwritten with the next release. If you want to create your own dashboards, you can do so outside the default-collection.
Adding more users
To access the Metabase UI, navigate to https://[[your 3yd domain]]/analytics and log in with admin@metabase.local and the password from adminPass. Once you are logged in, you can head to Settings → Admin Settings → People and invite other team members to Metabase.
