Titan Control Center - Visualization Frontend

The Titan Control Center is a scalable monitoring infrastructure for Industrial DevOps. It allows to monitor, analyze and visualize the electrical power consumption of devices and machines in industrial production environments.

This repository contains the visualization frontend of the Titan Control Center. It is a single-page application written in Typescript and Vue.js.

Developing

To work on this project, clone this repository and execute:

npm install

In order to start a development server running on http://localhost:8070 execute:

npm run serve

A good tool for working on this software is Visual Studio Code. In order to get things like autocompletion for .vue files, you need to install the vetur plugin. When you open a vue file the first time, Visual Studio Code suggests to install this plugin. Further, the ESLint plugin should be installed to get notifications on violated coding guideline already during developing.

The visualization frontend highly depends on external data sources, more specifically, the other Titan CCP microservices. In order to let the frontend access them, you need to start a reverse proxy that redirects all calls to the other services. We provide such a reverse proxy as part of the frontend, which can be started be started via:

docker run --rm --name titan-ccp-frontend --network host -e "SENSOR_MANAGEMENT_BASE_URL=http://<host>:<port>" -e "HISTORY_BASE_URL=http://<host>:<port>" -e "STATS_BASE_URL=http://<host>:<port>" -d industrialdevops/titan-ccp-frontend

Note: The application intended for development is running at port 8070, whereas a the application running at port 8080 is the compiled one running in the Docker container. If you want to build this reverse proxy by yourself, follow the steps described below.

Building

To build the visualization frontend for use in production execute:

npm install
npm run build

This will create some files in dist. These files along with the index.html can then be copied on a web server for productive usage.

This repository also contains a Dockerfile. Adjust the nginx.conf file accordingly and run docker build -t titan-ccp-frontend . to create an image from it (after building it with npm).

Running

To start a container execute:

docker run --rm --name titan-ccp-frontend -p <port>:8080 -e "SENSOR_MANAGEMENT_BASE_URL=http://<host>:<port>" -e "HISTORY_BASE_URL=http://<host>:<port>" -e "STATS_BASE_URL=http://<host>:<port>" -d titan-ccp-frontend
