New Elasticsearch Chrome Extension
1 MIN READ Hi All, As you may have seen in FAQ: Broken Elasticsearch Head Chrome Extension Workaround the Elasticsearch extension we were using in the VDIs (Elasticsearch Head) is no longer supported by Google Chrome! We have now added a new extension called Multi Elasticsearch Heads to the VDIs to hopefully replace the old extension! This extension should both appear and function very similarly to Elasticsearch Head; however, if you are having any issues or have any questions on how to use the new extension, please let us know in the comments! How to add the new extension Step 1: To add the new extension, first you will need to run the following commands: cd ~ cp /opt/training/other-resources/chrome-plugins/ElasticMultiheadChrome.zip ~ unzip ElasticMultiheadChrome.zip -d ElasticMultiheadChrome Step 2: Open up files and navigate to the "Home" folder You should now see a folder called ElasticMultiheadChrome Step 3: Add the new extension to Chrome To do this you can either follow the instructions in the environment setup module or follow the guide in this comment! Remember to select the ElasticMultiheadChrome folder instead of the elastic_head folder! Step 4: Done! You should now be able to use the new extension! I hope this helps, and please let us know if you have any issues etc!FAQ: π»οΈ VDI Usage and Common Issues
2 MIN READ FAQ relevant for: Academies that require a VDI Your training VDI can be accessed via this link. Before it can be used however, you will need to start the machine that it runs on and you also should stop the machine after you have finished using it. The VDI can be started and stopped via this page on the Quantexa Community, and there is also a refresh button to check the status of the VDI. After you start the VDI, you will need to wait a few minutes for it to boot up before it will be accessible. Common VDI issues & error messages: βYou have been disconnected.β - This message will appear when the VDI hasnβt been started yet. To solve it you just need to start the VDI and wait a few minutes. βAn internal error has occured within the Guacamole server, and the connection has been terminated. If the problem persists, please notify your system administrator, or check your system logs.β - This message will sometimes appear if you have started your VDI but then tried to access it before it has fully booted up. If you want a few more minutes then this should disappear and your VDI should be useable. If you still can't access your VDI after 10-15 minutes, it's likely due to your organization's firewall. βThe Guacamole server is denying access to this connection because you have exhausted the limit for simultaneous connection use by an individual user. Please close one or more connections and try again.β - This message will appear if you try to access the VDI from more than one browser tab at once, but also sometimes can appear at random (possibly caused by network issues). To solve it, close all tabs then wait a second before trying to open a fresh VDI tab. Alternatively you can hit the βLogoutβ button then on the next page the βRe-loginβ button and this usually fixes it too. Poor network conditions may cause this problem to persist. "The remote desktop server is currently unreachable. If the problem persists, please notify your system administrator, or check your system logs." - This error message means there is something wrong with the boot disk of the VDI and will need to be resolved by our cloud team. In this instance, please reach out to an ATL or create a new post in the Academy Q&A topic and we will get the team to resolve it for you. If any of the above problems persist and you are unable to solve them, then please reach out to the training team via the Academy Q&A Topic.Testing Starter Pack Release
I'm pleased to announce the release of the Testing Starter Pack, which sets out the main principles and considerations when testing your Quantexa deployment. Release Details This release contains articles on the recommended testing approach for deploying your Quantexa solution, with specific articles that go into greater detail on regression, functional, and non-functional testing considerations. High-Level Testing Methodology This guide outlines the best practice testing approach for Quantexa deployments based on Quantexa's delivery experience and learnings. It covers the importance of taking a risk-based approach to testing, automating your tests, using appropriate data, and testing as early as possible in your development cycle. Functional Testing Recommendations for Quantexa Functional testing is all about ensuring your solution does what's needed. This article focuses on testing areas of the Platform that help meet business requirements, including Data Ingestion, Entity Resolution, Scoring, Alerting, UI features, and security privileges. Non-Functional Testing Recommendations for Quantexa Non-functional testing evaluates how well a system works. The page offers Quantexaβs recommendations following a risk-based approach to target what to test, where to focus, and how to ensure the platform meets relevant Non-Functional Requirements in the most valuable way, with particular focus on technical security, performance, and robustness. Deployment Regression Testing This article guides you through what to consider when you regression test your Quantexa deployment. It focuses on understanding changes and their impact, and which changes you need to consider for regression.
