CoffeeCloud

The Coffeecloud app provides integration and synchronization between Eliona and Coffeecloud services.

This guide provides instructions on configuring, installing, and using the Coffeecloud app to manage resources and synchronize data between Eliona and CoffeeCloud services.

Installation

Install the Coffeecloud app via the Eliona App Store.

Configuration

The Coffeecloud app requires configuration through Eliona’s settings interface. Below are the general steps and details needed to configure the app effectively.

Registering the app in Coffeecloud Service

Create an API-Key in the Coffeecloud dashboard to connect the Coffeecloud services from Eliona. All required credentials are listed below in the configuration section.

Configure the Coffeecloud app

Configurations can be created in Eliona under Apps > Coffeecloud > Settings which opens the app's Generic Frontend. Here you can use the appropriate endpoint with the POST method. Each configuration requires the following data:

Attribute	Description
username	Username. Same as for the Coffeecloud dashboard.
password	Password. Same as for the Coffeecloud dashboard.
api_key	Generated API-Key (see below)
url	URL of the Coffeecloud services.
refreshInterval	Interval in seconds for data synchronization.
requestTimeout	API query timeout in seconds.
enable	Flag to enable or disable this configuration.
projectIDs	List of Eliona project IDs for data collection.

Example configuration JSON:

{
  "username": "foo",
  "password": "secret",
  "api_key": "SeCrEt",
  "url": "https://coffeecloud.scanomat.com/rest/login",
  "refreshInterval": 60,
  "requestTimeout": 120,
  "enable": true,
  "projectIDs": [
    "10"
  ]
}

Continuous Asset Creation

Once configured, the app starts Continuous Asset Creation (CAC). Discovered resources are automatically created as assets in Eliona.

The assets are group in Eliona like in the Coffeecloud dashboard. To avoid conflicts, the Global Asset Identifier is a manufacturer's ID prefixed with asset type name as a namespace.

Additional Features

Eliona dashboard templates

The app offers a predefined dashboard for ELiona that clearly displays the most important information. YOu can create such a dashboard under Dashboards > Copy Dashboard > From App > Coffeecloud.
