2.4. Testing the DataHub Web Server

To view a page served by the DataHub, open a web browser and type in the page URL. There is a demo page that comes with your DataHub installation where you can view data coming from DataSim. Here's how to access the page:

  1. Ensure that the DataHub is running and is configured to act as a web server.
  2. Type the IP address of the DataHub into the Address field at the top of your web browser.
    If you are running the DataHub and web browser on the same machine, type localhost. Otherwise, type the IP address or computer name of the computer running the DataHub.
  3. The welcome page should appear. You can follow the links to see the various demos. The demos use data from DataSim, so DataSim must be running and connected for the data to update live.
