  • By default the Visualization Tool is accessible on the dedicated port 7767 (HTTP). For example : http://172.16.1.130:7767

  • you can set 
    • the HTTPS
    • the port 
    • activated modules

    • ... 

 

HTTPS

The UI can be now protected by an HTTPS access.

In the webui.cfg,  

  • to activate the HTTPS:
    • http_use_ssl      0
      • by default it is set to 0. 
      • Set it to 1 to activate.
         
  • to set certificates by updating the 3 following parameters:
    • http_ssl_cert      /etc/shinken/certs/server.cert
