Displaying the Conductor Live web interface
You create ECL3; encoding workflow by creating profiles and channels. When you are ready, you then start the channel. When your Elemental Live nodes are in a cluster, you should use AWS Elemental Conductor Live to create the Elemental Live encoding workflow.
Displaying the web interface
-
Obtain the following information from the person who configured the Conductor Live cluster:
-
IP address of the Conductor Live node. The correct address depends on your high-availability redundancy setup:
-
If the cluster is set up with Conductor Live high-availability redundancy, the address is the address of the VIP. This VIP is set up when you configured for high-availability redundancy, as described in the AWS Elemental Conductor Live Configuration Guide.
-
If your Conductor Live cluster is not set up with Conductor Live redundancy, use the IP address of the Conductor Live to set it up.
-
-
Your user credentials, if the cluster is set up for user login.
-
Whether the cluster is set up for worker redundancy.
-
-
On a web browser, enter the IP address that you obtained.
Warning
In a high-availability deployment, you must always access the web interface from the VIP. It is possible to access it from the primary Conductor Live, but, when a failover occurs, problems occur.
-
If the Login dialog appears, enter your user credentials.
The Conductor Live web interface appears. The Conductor Live main menu contains these menu items:
-
Channels: Lets you create and work with channels that are on an Elemental Live node in the cluster.
-
Profiles: Lets you create and work with profiles that are on an Elemental Live node in the cluster.
-
MPTS: Lets you create and work with MPTSes (MPTS outputs) that are on an Elemental Statmux node in the cluster.
-
Status: Lets you monitor activity on all the nodes in the cluster.
-
Cluster: Lets you set up the cluster and set up redundancy groups in the cluster.
-
Settings: Lets you configure hardware components (such as network cards) on the Conductor Live node, and configure the Conductor Live software.
Viewing Conductor Live configuration information
On the Conductor Live web interface, choose the Globe icon at the top right of the page. A drop-down menu appears showing system information:
-
If redundancy is enabled on the cluster, the information includes the following:
-
The term High Availability Enabled.
-
The hostname beside the Globe icon shows the hostname of the Conductor Live that is currently the primary Conductor Live.
-
The VIP field shows the IP address of the VIP. This address does not match either the primary or the backup Conductor Live node.
-
-
If redundancy is not enabled, the information appears as:
The hostname beside the Globe icon shows the hostname of the Conductor Live.
The IP field shows the IP address of the Conductor Live node.
