Connectivity when using Private IP addresses

If you have chosen Private IP address connectivity as part of the deployment of kdb Insights Enterprise, refer to Azure security for more information about how to enable users to access the UI and the API endpoint. Then follow the steps below.

KX Nexus

The KX Nexus repository will be sunsetted in the future. Nexus links on this page are provided as a temporary alternative to the KX Downloads Portal for existing users. The KX Downloads Portal is the preferred repository for all use cases and KX Nexus links will be removed once the KX Nexus repository is decommissioned.

Create kdb Insights Enterprise users

Using a successful deployment:

  1. Select the deployment in the Azure Portal under Managed applications.

  2. Click on Parameters and Outputs in the left-hand navigation menu.

  3. Copy the keycloakUrl output value and navigate to this URL in a new browser tab.

kdb Insights Enterprise uses Keycloak as its Identity and Access Management component. To give users the access they require, follow one of the guides below:

Refer to the documentation on Keycloak and the role based permissions to determine the level of permisions each user requires.

If you want to give users the ability to reset their password via email you need to configure the reset password service.

  1. Select the deployment in the Azure Portal under Managed applications.

  2. Click on Parameters and Outputs in the left-hand navigation menu.

  6. For an introduction to the User Interface, refer to kdb Insights Enterprise Overview.

There are additional tools and services available on the KX Downloads Portal, such as the kdb Insights Enterprise Language Interfaces and the kdb Insights CLI. Both the Language Interfaces and the kdb Insights CLI are available through the KX Nexus repository until Nexus is removed in the future.

Azure namespaces

Remember! Cluster resources created using the Azure Marketplace are preconfigured to use various namespaces. In most cases, when running kubectl commands referenced in the documentation, remember to include the -n insights argument, to make sure all resources under the "insights" namespace appear, as well.

If you already have a KX license and an existing application, you can use the RT Bridge to ingest data into kdb Insights Enterprise on Azure.
