Instructions
Configure your Dashboards instance to accept incoming connections
Before making a connection, we need to verify that our Dashboards instance is correctly configured.
From the OVHcloud Control Panel, navigate to your Dashboards instance via the Public Cloud and Data Analysis menus.
Step 1: Verify your user roles and password
Select the Users tab. Click more options ... to the right of your user and select Reset the password.
Step 2: Authorize incoming connections to your Dashboards instance
NOTE: For security reasons, the default network configuration doesn't allow any incoming connections. It is thus critical that you authorize suitable IP addresses to successfully access your service.
In this step, select the Configuration tab. IP addresses must be authorized here before they can connect to your service.
In the IPs panel, enter the information for the IP you wish to authorize, then click the add + button and Save changes.
You can remove access via the delete ⛔️ button.
If you want to allow connections from the outside, you can enter the IP 0.0.0.0/0. Please use it carefully.
Connect to your Dashboards instance
From the OVHcloud Control Panel, navigate to your Dashboards instance via the Public Cloud and Data Analysis menus.
In the Dashboard tab, retrieve the URI for your service from the Connection information panel.
Then connect to your Dashboards instance:
