Re: [DISCUSS] Central Navigation for Alerts and Management UI

2019-03-05 Thread Rita McKissick
That was my thought, too. The Management UI is meant for the Operations persona.
And the Alerts UI is meant for the SOC analyst persona. If we see a need for 
either of these
personas to use both of the UIs, then the ability to switch between the two UIs 
would
be great. Otherwise, I'm not sure that ability is necessary.

As an aside, as the tech writer I would love to be able to switch between the 
two UIs, but I'm not
really one of our supported personas __ Darn!

be interested to hear whether others in the community find this wall
useful, or if we should come back to a single pain of glass.

Hope this helps with review process. There are a couple of areas where that

Change to Indexing section of Admin Guide

2017-10-03 Thread Rita McKissick
Hi everyone,

Jasper requested that I copy the section on tuning HDFS to the section on 
Indexing. So, I’ve added this section to the Indexing section on the Admin 
Guide:
http://dev.hortonworks.com.s3.amazonaws.com/HDPDocuments/HCP1/HCP-1-trunk/bk_administration/content/configuring_indexing.html

Let me know if you have any suggestions or feedback on this change.

Re: [DISCUSS] Meta alert Elasticsearch new template requirement ramifications

2017-09-29 Thread Rita McKissick
Hi Justin,

I am adding the nested “alert" field requirement to the product documentation, 
and I had a question:

* If the user opts to use the default configuration, will they still need to 
add the nested “alert” field?

When I’m finished with the documentation, I’ll send you a link to make sure 
what I’ve documented is correct.

Thanks,

Rita

Metron has graduated, and as such any reference to Apache Metron (Incubating)
