General Settings

In General Settings, system admins can configure the email server, root URL for accessing ECP, user invite method, log settings, monitoring and alarm configurations, and system language settings.

In addition to the ability to configure settings like the email server, access URL, user invitation methods, Telegraf image, and language preferences, ECP also supports configuring logs, monitoring, and alarms at the system level. For more instructions, see Logs and Observability.

1. This parameter is mandatory. The domain name or IP address can be used.
2. Edge service NeuronEX will use this address when pushing status information;

To set the root URL:

1. Log in to ECP as a system admin and navigate to System Settings -> General Settings.
2. Click Edit to enter the editing page.
3. Select the protocol and input the root URL.

To set mail server:

1. Log in to ECP as a system admin and navigate to System Settings -> General Settings.

System admins can create users directly or invite them via email to join the ECP platform.

Monitoring

On the Monitoring configuration page, you can set EMQX monitoring rules, NeuronEX monitoring rules, NeuronEX detection interval Settings, and monitoring counter collection.

The monitoring indicator collection needs to specify an address for the Prometheus service, an access username and password, and a PushGateway service address.

Floating License Configuration

The offline active time of NeuronEX can be configured through this function. The offline active time of NeuronEX refers to the time it can run normally after being separated from ECP management.
