Retrieving ACR/Summary Historical Data in Assure

This article details the process to configure ( or reconfigure ) Infogix Assure to pull ACR/Summary history via an ACR/Connector node

Before defining an Assure control to look for ACR/Summary historical data, we must first configure the Assure application to connect to ACR/Summary via an ACR/Connector node.

Within <install_home>/config/<config>/IA/IA.properties you will see values pertaining to ACR/Connector:

These values will need to be defined appropriately to establish a connection between the two applications. Ensure the "gateway" is enabled and define both the host and port, which will correlate to your ACR/Connector node ( which is connected to an ACR/Summary installation ).

Once complete, the Assure instance will need to go through a "clean" / "validate" / "deploy". These scripts may be found within your <install_home>/bin directory.

Example ( substitute <config> as necessary ):

./clean.sh -c <config> IA
./validate-config-values.sh -c <config> IA
./deploy.sh -c <config> IA

Once the Assure application is back online post-deploy, navigate to an Assure CP. Within the "History" tab you will see an "Add ACR/Summary" icon:

Selecting this option will allow you to verify your ACR/Connector node is being found:

Now that an Assure and ACR/Summary connection has been established, you may code the control to pull ACR/Summary history to be utilized within your Assure instance.
