Getting started
Steps required to start working with DataForge as a DataForge manager.
DataForge manager manual
A collection of manuals for DataForge company managers, containing information about Zabbix server setup, configuration of DataForge features and details about the advanced ACL-based permission system, etc.
Dashboard
The DataForge manager dashboard provides an overview of the company that the manager accounts for. This overview includes the quota usage of the company and all added Zabbix servers.
DataForge user types
DataForge has two distinct user types - DataForge managers and DataForge users.
DataForge managers are created within DataForge itself and are exclusively designed for administrative purposes. DataForge users, on the other hand, are Zabbix users imported into DataForge.
Companies
Companies serve as a virtual representation of a business or department. A company does not necessarily have to correspond to a real company; it can also represent a department or another organizational unit.
Zabbix users
Zabbix users are part of a Zabbix server but play a crucial role in various aspects of working with DataForge. These users fall into three distinct categories, Zabbix user, Zabbix service user, and Zabbix root user.
Zabbix server setup
Adding a Zabbix server integrates that server into DataForge and enables access to its data.
Importing Zabbix users
Imported Zabbix users are referred to as DataForge users. They focus on all functionalities within DataForge, except administrative tasks.
Zabbix user groups
DataForge utilizes Zabbix user groups for different purposes. Zabbix user groups with specific configurations have their own roles within DataForge.
DataForge user groups
A DataForge user group is required for using DataForge’s reporting feature. Members operate through a service user. The Zabbix permissions of the service user define the scope of data accessible in reporting.
Roles
The permission system in DataForge is based on manager and user roles. DataForge offers default and custom roles defined by a ACL rule set.
Media types
Media types specify the delivery method for reports. They are unique to each company and based on these base types: Email, SCP, S3, and Kafka.
Report subscriptions
Report subscriptions enable the automated delivery of reports based on the configured schedule, types, and user media.
Audit log
The audit log provides a comprehensive record of all events within the DataForge application.
Profile
The manager profile provides tools like a connection tester as well as options for managing support tokens, API tokens or changing the password.
