Click to enlarge

The DataviewConfig.groovy validation page displays validation results for each section of the DataviewConfig.groovy file. Each of the sections corresponds to a particular page in Viewpoint.

For detailed information about how to use this configuration file to customize your instance of Viewpoint, see Customizing Viewpoint with the DataviewConfig.groovy file.

The following configurations are validated:

Configuration Description
dataview.events Portion of the DataviewConfig.groovy file that contains the JSON configuration for the Event Log page (see About event log).
dataview.job Portion of the DataviewConfig.groovy file that contains the JSON configuration for the Job Management page (see About job management).
dataview.nodes Portion of the DataviewConfig.groovy file that contains the JSON configuration for the Node Management page (see About node management).
dataview.principals Portion of the DataviewConfig.groovy file that contains the JSON configuration for the Principal Management page (see About principal management).
dataview.reporting Portion of the DataviewConfig.groovy file that contains the JSON configuration for the Reporting page (see About reporting).
dataview.role Portion of the DataviewConfig.groovy file that contains the JSON configuration for the Role Management page (see About role management).
dataview.service Portion of the DataviewConfig.groovy file that contains the JSON configuration for the Service Management page (see About service management).
dataview.viewReservations Portion of the DataviewConfig.groovy file that contains the JSON configuration for the Reservation Management page (see About reservation management).
dataview.vms Portion of the DataviewConfig.groovy file that contains the JSON configuration for the Virtual Machine Management page (see About virtual machine management).

File validation

Displays whether or not the JSON configuration for a particular page passed or failed.

The validation check that Viewpoint runs on these files only checks that the JSON syntax is correct. It does not validate that your customizations will actually work.

If a JSON configuration failed validation, its corresponding page will still load, but without the configurations you attempted to make.

When you click a file heading (for example, dataview.events), the page expands to display the JSON objects contained in the configuration file. For example:

You cannot edit the JSON for configuration files from this interface. The DataviewConfig.groovy validation page only displays the JSON that is contained in the actual individual sections of the DataviewConfig.groovy file. For information about where you access the file and how to use it to customize your instance of Viewpoint, see Customizing Viewpoint with the DataviewConfig.groovy file.
