Configuration

In the Configuration section, there are three different items available that can be controlled and changed by the user.

• Clusters

• User Management

• Change Password

Clusters

The section of the default cluster allows you to define a 'main configuration' for the cluster. This main configuration works like a template and all engine endpoints use these values by default.

It is possible though to overwrite and edit the endpoints for all different engines. To do that you need to click on the Edit endpoint button and modify the settings. If a specific configuration differs from the default configuration, then a message appears at the top of the configuration settings.

To double-check whether your endpoint configurations are valid you can click the Check REST endpoint button. A valid endpoint configuration is indicated with a green message, and a red message signifies an error is present.

In Flowable Control multiple clusters can be managed. To add another cluster configuration, click the Add cluster configuration button.

In the resulting dialog, fill in the appropriate values and click Save cluster configuration.

To edit a cluster configuration, click the Edit cluster configuration button. A dialog opens where modifications to the configuration are made.

It is also possible to delete your cluster configuration by clicking the red Delete cluster configuration button in the header.
