how to configure hostname in report email link "View in Database Performance Analyzer"

When a DPA report is sent by scheduled email, there are links at the bottom such as:

"View in Database Performance Analyzer" MACHINE:8123/iwc/reportGroupDisplay.iwc?repo_id=1&id=1

"Visit the Reports page to edit this schedule." MACHINE:8123/iwc/reports.iwc

But depending where the email is viewed, MACHINE name may not be sufficient to reach the DPA server; a FQDN may be needed (such as MACHINE.domain.local).

I have not found the setting to set the hostname for such links. I have looked in Advanced settings, Email settings, Report settings, etc.

  • Not too well documented, but here are the instructions. On the DPA app server, navigate to <install_dir>\iwc\tomcat\ignite_config\idc, open system.properties.

    Look for this section:

    # OVERRIDES PROTOCOL, HOST AND PORT USED WHEN BUILDING LINKS

    # TO THE IGNITE WEB CLIENT IN EMAIL MESSAGES

    # FORMAT: http[s]://host:port

    #com.confio.iwc.emailLinks.urlOverride=

    Uncomment the com.confio.iwc.emailLinks.urlOverride= and add the url you want to see (ie: http://server.domain:port)

    Restart DPA so the new parameter is picked up.

  • Thanks, Was hoping it was in the database, but that would work.

    I also saw the following settings, and decided to just use the hostOverride in my case:

    #com.confio.iwc.emailLinks.hostOverride=

    #com.confio.iwc.emailLinks.portOverride=
