Access UI and Grafana Dashboard Using FQDN

You must perform the following steps to access the VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance UI and Grafana Dashboard using Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).

Procedure

Update the dashboardAccess.ip in /tcx-deployer/product-helm-charts/tcsa/values-user-overrides.yaml.yaml with the FQDN that you want to use to access the VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance UI and Grafana Dashboard.

Example: 

appDeploymentInterval: 2s
dashboardAccess:
  # (string) The IP address for accessing the dashboard. If using a static pre-allocated IP, set this property on Day 0 (fresh deployment). If using a dynamically allocated IP, set this on Day 1 (post deployment)
  ip: <your FQDN>
 # (string) Can be either NodePort or LoadBalancer. Defaults to NodePort for TKG and LoadBalancer for Azure/AWS. For on-prem it can be either.
  type: <NodePort or LoadBalancer>

Run tcxctl deploy product tcsa for the changes to take place.
```
export TCSA_WORK_SPACE=/root/base

cd $TCSA_WORK_SPACE

./tcxctl deploy product --name tcsa --kubeconfig <KUBECONFIG> --registry-password <REGISTRY PASSWORD> --registry-username <REGISTRY USERNAME> --timeout=5 --path $TCSA_WORK_SPACE/tcx-deployer/product-helm-charts/tcsa
```
Note:
- The --registry-cert is an optional parameter. If you are using a self-signed certificate Harbor, you must pass a certificate path value to it.
- Ensure that the --registry-password is passed inside single quotation if you are passing this to the installation script.
The VMware Telco Cloud Service AssuranceUI becomes accessible with the FQDN.

Run the following command to check the root_url in grafana-ini config map to check that the Grafafana pads have restarted.

kubectl get cm grafana-ini -n tcsa-system -o yaml
apiVersion: v1
data:
  grafana.ini: |
    [server]
    protocol = http
    http_port = 3000
    domain = localhost
    root_url = https://<FQDN>:443/adhoc/  ----> Should point to the FQDN now instead of the IP

Access the Grafana Dashboard using the FQDN.
