How to create a new customer in Hystax Acura

Task

Create a new customer in Hystax Acura.

Solution

Each created customer may have their own tenant, specified as a target project. Please note, Hystax_CATI image must be public, so Hystax Cloud Agent can be created from this image in any target project.
Please use the instructions below to create a customer with a separate tenant:

 • Click the "Add" button in the lower part of "Customers" section. A modal dialog "Add Customer" will appear.

• Fill in the fields:


  1. Active — shows whether the customer is active or not. This field affects the ability of customer users to use the system.
  2. Company Name — the customer's company name, unique within the partner, will be displayed in the UI.
  3. Contact Email — email address for communication with a customer's representative on the solution usage and billing, unique within the partner.
  4. Contact Phone is the telephone number of the customer's representative.
  5. Address
  6. Time zone — time zone to use for replication scheduling
  7. Cloud — target cloud.
  8. Target project ID — target project ID where replicated loads will be spun up. Leave it empty to use the project ID from the cloud configuration.
  9. Use custom replication agent settings — off by default. Use this if you need to put Acura behind a proxy. Fill in the parameters shown on the screen if this option is on:
            
    1. Replication agent endpoint IP is an IPv4 address or DNS name that will be used by the replication agents to connect, send data, and make REST API calls to Acura.
    2. Replication agent endpoint certificate is required if a proxy server is present between the components to ensure the security of the HTTPS connection. Input should be an SSL certificate in PEM format for the replication endpoint IP (proxy server).
    3. Replication agent endpoint port is the port used by replication agents to send data.
    4. Replication agent logging address is a custom IPv4 address or DNS name for sending logs. Replication agents downloaded for the customer will use this IP as the Logstash IP. This field typically contains the same address as the Replication agent endpoint IP.
    5. Replication agent logging port is the port used by replication agents to send logs.
  1. Enable replication traffic compression — when on this might save a lot of network bandwidth. Checked by default.
  2. Additional parameters — other additional parameters in JSON format.
  3. Mountpoint overlay — overrides default mountpoint in JSON format.

After clicking Save, the customer will be created and shown in the customer list.
