Pion's User Interface

To get started and see Pion's User Interface just point your favorite web browser to port 8888 on the server Pion is installed on (for example http://myserver.mycompany.com:8888UH). The login screen will appear after a few seconds. (Note that, the first time you access a Pion instance from a new client, it will take a few extra seconds longer for the login screen to appear, because some tools are being loaded in background.)

After logging into Pion you will be presented with the Replay Workspace.

Notice the tabs: Replay, Dashboards, Reactors, Vocabularies, Codecs, Databases, Protocols, Users, System, and Log. Selecting anyone of these tabs takes you into those different workspaces.

The Dashboard Page is gives you a graphical presentation of what is configured in the Aggregate Reactor.

The Reactor Workspace is where you configure Pion to capture, filter and/or manipulate data.

The Vocabularies page allows you to manage and specify (define) the vocabularies used to describe events. Vocabularies allow you to define the terms and the format of the elements (data structures) that make up an event.

A Pion Codec defines an input or output format for a log or a data stream (feed).

The Databases configuration tab is used to configure a connection to a database.
