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
```
