Operation Portal


As one of the fundamental Maestro features, we would like to introduce Operation portal, a platform for providing a comfortable and efficient way of managing customers’ infrastructures. The Operation portal was implemented to allow our users to independently manage tenants and tenant groups.

Such a comprehensive approach allows us to fundamentally simplify the work of the end-user in managing their infrastructures from the administration perspective. It will also allow the customer administrator to manage tenants and regions not only via the admin CLI but also via the convenient and intuitively understandable web UI.

The portal is available for users with customer administrative permissions. The list of respective email addresses should be provided when activating a customer in Maestro.

A user with customer administrator permissions will be able to, apart from managing permissions and user groups, perform the following operations:
  • Manage contacts in a tenant
  • Manage public images in a region
  • Manage positions in a tenant
  • Manage regions
To review the basic functionality of the Operation portal, perform the following steps:



1. In the User Menu click the Configuration button.
2. The portal will open displaying a table with tenants available for the customer.
3. By clicking options of the tab menu you can switch between Tenants and Regions tabs.
  • In the Tenants tab, you can review and manage tenants available for the customer.
  • In the Regions tab, you can review and manage regions, available for the customer.
4. The table columns contain additional information about items in the list (display name, tenant group, cloud, state). It is possible to filter the items in the table using the filters in column titles.
5. In the Monitored metrics section, all available tenant-level metrics are displayed.

The management operations can be performed with the help of respective wizards available on the toolbar or on the Content View section. Below you can see an example of working with one of the wizards, e.g. Manage Contacts wizard.

1. In the list of available tenants select the one which you want to manage.
2. Upon clicking on the tenant in a list, the Content View will open. It contains extended information about the tenant. The action buttons will invoke wizards to provide more options for manipulation.
3. Click the action button Manage Contacts to open the respective wizard.
4. In the Contacts Management wizard, you can add or remove contacts assigned to the selected tenant. To add a new contact, click the Add new row button.
5. Enter the email address of the contact person into the text field.
6. Click Update Contacts to submit your changes.

Thus, the Operation portal will make the process of managing customers' infrastructures transparent, efficient, and convenient.
