WARNING: Use the Delete option with extreme caution; please read and understand these instructions before proceeding:

  • This will permanently delete the WB Host Object from the WB UI and also backend configuration
  • The WB Delete action will NOT delete the respective binaries from the host; that will be a manual task via the respective host post deleting in the WB UI
  • WB Primary Host deletion is NOT supported - only WB Additional Hosts/Nodes can be deleted
  • Pre-Cluster formation
    • Delete WB Secondary WB Host object from configuration page under Host section
      • ALL associated WB component config data will be permanently removed
      • Now and only when the WB Host is deleted, delete the associated Hosts WB Application component config objects one-by-one under Applications section
  • Post-Cluster formation WB Host deletion is NOT recommended

Overview

Gain an at-a-glance overview of the state, status and content of the WB components and features

General

System Data Retention Period - this applies to the data stored within WB and the duration for which its stored; if this setting is enabled, data will be permanently deleted post this value; the default is Enabled and 30 days

NOTE: Data Retention values not updated in real-time when viewing this page

Alarm Expiration - this applies to the WB Active Alarms duration, if not resolved, if this setting is enabled, WB alarms (not Genesys Engage) will be automatically closed post this value - i.e. to avoid manually clearing 100 Channel Monitoring active alarms, they would be automatically cleared post this value; the default is Enabled an 172800 seconds (2 days)

NOTE: Alarm Expiration values not updated in real-time when viewing this page

Session Expiration - this applies to the timeout of sessions; Users will be auto logged out of WB if/when a new request is greater than the Session Expiration; if/when the Session Expiration setting is unchecked/disabled, Users will never be auto logged out

Hosts

  • These are either WB hosts or Engage hosts
  • Engage hosts will only be present if the WB Agent is installed on the respective Engage host (i.e. SIP Server host)
  • Only deploy the WB Agent on Engage hosts that you wish to ingest metric data (CPU/RAM/DISK/NETWORK) from
  • This Configuration section allows read-only visibility of WB Host Objects
    • The WB Host objects can be:
    • Deleted (i.e. should there be a need to move/re-install WB Additional components to a new Host/Server)

Applications

  • In WB 9.1 there are 8 x WB Application Objects:
    • WB IO (for WB UI and integration to Genesys Engage including the Channel Monitoring feature)
    • WB Agent (for WB status, control and configuration - in WB 9.0 WB Agents are ONLY installed on WB hosts, not Genesys Engage hosts)
    • WB Elasticsearch (for WB storage)
    • WB Kibana (for WB UI)
    • WB Logstash (an ETL pipeline primarily relating to WB Agent Metric data ingestion)
    • WB Heartbeat (for WB component health monitoring)
    • WB Metricbeat (for Host/Process Metric data ingestion in conjunction with the WB Agent component)
    • WB ZooKeeper (for WB configuration)
  • This Configuration section allows visibility and management of the Application Objects above
    • The Application Objects can be:
      • Renamed (i.e. WB_IO_Primary to APAC_WB_IO_P)
      • Edited (i.e. change the [WB_Kibana_Primary\HTTP Port] setting from the default 8181 to 9191)
      • Deleted (not the WB Primary host Applications)

Data-Centers

  • The Data-Center(s) name(s) are provided during WB installation and will be displayed according to the value(s) entered

Auditing

  • The WB Audit Console is similar to the Changes Console but also provide visibility of WB User Logins/Logouts; the Audit events will also evolve overtime
    • NOTE: Audit events are not updated in real-time when viewing this page
