  elproMonitorDBUser
  elproEventDBUser
  elproUserDBUser

5.1.2. Procedure to create new Login names

1. Right-click <server name> → Security → Logins → New Login… to open the window to create a new user.

2. Select the option SQL Server authentication, enter <Login name> under Login name:, and enter a password (e.g. elpro).
   Alternatively select Windows authentication and then select the required Windows User. Finally omit the next two steps.

3. Untick the following checkbox:

• for freshly upgrading an existing older elproMONITOR installation to 3.x+ version:
  ELPRO.elproMONITOR.RemoveDuplicateNullMeasurements.sql is required to be run manually after executing CreateSchema.sql.
  
  This script is exactly the same as the one we used for fixing an existing eM 2.2.x installation. This script is part of the installation artifact we create and can be found next to the CreateSchema.sql file and it will delete faulty measure values with timestamp of 1900-01-01 00:01:01.000 and it will also delete faulty NULL measure values where other valid measure values are present.

• You will be prompted to load the Activation file to activate elproMONITOR

• Install the Activation file

  

• You will be forwarded to the License page of elproMONITOR to load a License file

  

• Install the License file

  

6.6. elproEVENT Create Program Links

• Create a link to the desktop for the application <Programdirectory>\elproEVENT<Versionnumber>\Application Folder\elproEVENT.exe.

• Right-click on this link to open the Properties window.

• In the Shortcut tab, go to the Target: field and add the parameter –tenant <Configurationdirectory>
  e.g. "C:\Program Files\elproEVENT<VersionNumber>\Application Folder elproEVENT.exe" -tenant "C:\ProgramData\ELPRO\License"

7. Multi-Tenant System Setup

elproMONITOR is capable of processing several tenants. This means that optionally, several elproMONITOR systems can be installed and operated in parallel on a computer system.

elproMONITOR systems run fully autonomously and completely separately from systems installed in parallel. Each system may have different program module versions. Programs and databases can each be operated by separate users so that they are protected against attacks.

Execute the following steps to set up several tenants on a computer system. Note that all name issues referring to a tenant (DB name, DB user, Service name, etc.) must be unique to ensure isolation between individual tenants.

• A separate database for the elproMONITOR, elproEVENT, and elproUSER applications must be created for each tenant. Accordingly, separate DB logins and DB users must be created.
  >> 5. Creating Databases

• Configurations must be created in a separate configuration directory for each tenant.
  e.g. C:\ProgramData\ELPRO\Tenant<TenantName>

• The configuration for each tenant must be made separately using the Management Tool.

• If different versions of elproEVENT and elproUSER are to be used, the corresponding libraries must also be imported to the Global Assembly Cache.
  >> 6.1. Importing Libraries in Global Assembly Cache

• Pro Mandant muss je eine Webapplikation in ein eigenes Webapplikationsverzeichnis kopiert werden. Dies gilt auch falls es sich um eine komplett identische Version handelt
  e.g. C:\inetpub\ELPRO\Tenant<TenantName>\elproMONITOR <VersionNumber>\

• Each individual web application must be set up separately. In particular, each application must be mapped to a separate port and assigned to the corresponding configuration directory.
  >> 6.2.2 Set up Web Client (IIS)

• A separate service instance of elproMONITOR must be set up for each tenant. Here each separate Service instance must have a port applied to it (8000 is standard for the first instance). This port is first defined in the elproMONITOR database in the "Setting" table in the Keyname WcfBaseAddress entry. Secondly, the same port must be configured in the file: Web.config of the web application in the WcfBaseAddress entry.
  >> 6.2.1 Set up elproMONITOR Service

• Optionally, a dedicated Windows user, under which the application runs, can be set up with the appropriate access rights for each tenant.
  >> 6.4 Creating and Configuring Dedicated Windows User

• The database connection settings must be configured for each tenant using the elproMONITOR Management Tool.
  >> 6.5.1. Start the elproMONITOR Management Tool bis >> 6.5.3 Configure Database Connection Settings for elproUSER

• The program links must be set up for each tenant accordingly.
  >> 6.6. elproEVENT Create Program Links

8. System Settings

System settings may be made in the following databases. Usually, settings only need to be made once and are therefore not included in the Settings.

8.1. Settings elproMONITOR - To Check

8.1.1. Tabelle "Setting" Section "UserInterface"

8.1.2. Tabelle "Setting" Section "System”

8.1.2. Tabelle "Setting" Section "Plugin”

8.2. Settings elproEVENT

 8.2.1. "Setting" Table

8.3. Settings elproUSER

 8.3.1. "AppSettings" Table 

9. Operation

 9.1. Start

• Ensure that the Monitor Service is running and the web application was started in IIS. The applications can be started from the Windows Administrator account.

• To check this, start Internet Explorer and enter the address http://localhost. The elproMONITOR login page appears. Login using the user previously created in elproUSER (for example, admin).

9.1.1. Enter elproUSER URL in elproMONITOR Database

• Start SQL Server Management Studio and log in to the database as DB Administrator.
  e.g. /elproUSER

• In the elproMONITOR database, open the table dbo.Setting for Editing and in ElproUserUri , enter the web client alias from >> 6.3.3 elproUSER Client einrichten (IIS).

• After the changes in the table dbo.Setting, the following actions are necessary:

  • Restart of elproMONITOR Service

  • Restart of IIS

9.1.2. Set RabbitMQ credentials in the elproMONITOR Database

• Start SQL Server Management Studio and log in to the database as DB Administrator.
  e.g. /elproUSER

• In the ElproMONITOR Settings table set the RabbitMQUsername and RabbitMQPassword according to the credentials which was defined in 4.6

• After the changes in the table dbo.Setting, the following actions are necessary:

  • Restart of elproMONITOR Service

  • Restart of IIS

9.2. First Start-up of elproUSER

• Start elproUSER using the link you just created.

• Login to elproUSER for the first time using the following data:

  • Username: admin

  • Password: elpro

• You can then change the password immediately after.

• If you require integration in AD, click Application → Options to open the Application Settings window and open the "Active Directory":

  • Enter the Active Directory server name.

  • Enter the user name and password of an AD user with read-only rights to AD.

  • Click the "..." button and select the required subnode for user and groups. (If in doubt, simply select the root node.)

  • Click OK to save the changed settings.

10. elproMONITOR Management Tool

Configuring the basic settings of elproMONITOR is performed using the elproMONITOR Management Tool.

The elproMONITOR software requires a path to a so-called tenant list. When the management tool is started, specify this path as the start parameter. If you leave out the parameter, a window pops up for you to enter the path.

If other configurations already exist in this path, they are read out and displayed as defaults.

elproMONITOR is capable of handling several tenants, so several instances can be configured using a tenant list.
