Metadata Webserver

Purpose

This webserver connects the client interface to the orchestrator and configuration management engine, and also stores and manages metadata about client interactions with the system.

How It Works

The Axilon webserver manages user authentication and communicates with the database, Orchestrator, and Configuration Management Engine.

The webserver database stores metadata about primary systems, configuration extraction tasks, and clone VMs. No confidential or process relevant information is stored in the database.

The webserver also handles scheduling of configuration extraction tasks and tracks those schedules in the database.

Database Architecture

The database is architected around 2 primary units: Machines and Configurations. Machines can be either primary or clone machines, and carry with them information about their networking configuration, software versioning, users with permission to modify them, and uptime status.

Configurations reflect application setups and configuration adapter settings, and are tied to one or more machines and to any number of snapshots created using them.
