Reporter Commands
-----------------


The VOSS Insights CLI has a number of ``reporter`` commands ::

  $ reporter
  USAGE:
  ------
  reporter connect                   - Connect to remote VOSS system
  reporter http_connection           - Print http_connection for VOSS system
  reporter http_connection <IP>|None - Set or remove manual http_connection for
                                         VOSS system
  reporter test_connection           - Test remote mongo and VOSS system
                                         connection


The **reporter connect** and **reporter test_connection** commands
are used during the install process, or during system management. 

For installation details, refer to the Set Up VOSS Insights topic in
the VOSS Insights Install Guide.

* **reporter connect**

  The command takes an IP address parameter, which is the target system primary database
  server address. To determine the VOSS Automate system primary database server IP address,
  log in the the VOSS Automate system and run the command **database primary**. 

  Use this IP address as a `host` parameter and enter the password,
  for example:
 
  ::

     $ reporter connect
     host: 192.77.248.122
     pass:


* **reporter http_connection**

  The VOSS Insights system web interface connects to a VOSS Automate node
  that runs its web server. The web proxy nodes on a target VOSS Automate system
  can be shown with the **cluster status** command. 

  For example, for a standalone system, the command output of this command is
  ``None``, since the web proxy nodes has the same address as the application
  and database. The example output of the command below is on a standalone
  VOSS Automate system: 
  
  ::

     $ cluster status
     
     Data Centre: atlantic
        application : voss2-08[192.77.248.122]
     
           webproxy : voss2-08[192.77.248.122]
     
           database : voss2-08[192.77.248.122]

  
* **reporter http_connection <IP>|None**

  The web interface of VOSS Insights can be set to a specified
  web proxy IP address, fully qualified domain name, or it can be reset
  to None.


* **reporter test_connection**

  This test command is also used during the installation process.
  The example below shows command output when connected to
  a standalone VOSS Automate system.
 
  ::

     $ reporter test_connection
     MongoDB Connection established to 192.77.248.122
     Primary Connection is 192.77.248.122:27020
     HTTP Connection to 192.77.248.122 succesfull
