Accounts

Overview

Our services are using different types of accounts. The information required for an account is depending on the app mode. Our app mode options are Zabbix-Direct and DataForge. When using DataForge, you must further specify whether you are a DataForge User or a DataForge Manager.

• App mode: Zabbix-Direct (app only)
• App mode: DataForge
  • Account type: DataForge Manager (used to configure the DataForge server like adding Zabbix server and users)
  • Account type: DataForge User (used by regular users)

Accounts list

The accounts list maintains a consistent appearance regardless of whether you’re accessing it via the mobile app or a web browser.

Account type: DataForge

DataForge login offers login options for two types of users: DataForge Users and DataForge Managers.

DataForge User

A DataForge User is a Zabbix user imported into DataForge by a DataForge Manager. Once imported, these users can log in to DataForge by using the DataForge User account type with their Zabbix account credentials, or by providing a Zabbix API token. Depending on their assigned user role and user group, they can interact with features such as the Zabbix Client, Self Provisioning, and Reporting. This user type does not operate in the administrative sections of DataForge.

When adding a DataForge User account, a form will open requiring information about the DataForge and Zabbix server, as well as your account credentials. By default the DataForge server of IntelliTrend is selected. You can also use a custom DataForge server.

User account: Default DataForge server

Add account: DataForge User form default

• DataForge Server: Set to the configured default value (dataforge.intellitrend.de). The default server can be configured if DataForge is acquired as on-prem. You can provide a custom server by opening the dropdown menu and selecting custom. This will change the form (see User account: Custom DataForge server).
• Zabbix server identifier: The Zabbix server alias of the server from which the DataForge User originated.
• Password/Token authentication: You can toggle between authentication methods. Password authentication is selected by default. More information about the Zabbix API token login can be found here.
• Username: Your designated username.
• Password: Your designated password.

• Username: Your designated username.
• Password: Your designated password.
• API guard token: If you have the API Guard software from IntelliTrend, an API Guard token can be provided. This adds an extra layer of security (see API guard token).

DataForge Manager

DataForge Managers do not originate from a Zabbix server and are the administrative accounts within DataForge. The administrative tasks in DataForge include: configuring DataForge, managing integrations of Zabbix servers, companies, users, and user roles, and monitoring microservices and auditing system activities.

When adding a DataForge Manager account, a form will open requiring information about the DataForge, as well as your account credentials. By default the DataForge server of IntelliTrend is selected. You can also use a custom DataForge server.

You can provide a custom server by opening the dropdown menu and selecting custom. This will change the form (see Manager account: Custom DataForge server).
• Email: Your designated manager Email.
• Password: Your designated password.

Manager account: Custom DataForge server

Zabbix-Direct utilizes your Zabbix user credentials or a Zabbix API token to establish a direct connection with your Zabbix server. Once logged in, you can explore the features offered by Zabbix-Direct. A detailed description of its functionalities can be found in the user manual’s Zabbix Client chapter. Additionally, you can configure and enable push notifications to stay informed about important events.

When choosing the Zabbix-Direct mode, a form will open requiring the address of the Zabbix server, as well as your account credentials.
