Automation Suite on Linux Installation Guide
Accessing Automation Suite
Before running any kubectl commands, make sure to enable kubectl. This allows you to run commands for retrieving passwords and configuration details for the cluster.
To enable kubectl, run the following command:
sudo su -
export KUBECONFIG="/etc/rancher/rke2/rke2.yaml" \
&& export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/var/lib/rancher/rke2/bin"
sudo su -
export KUBECONFIG="/etc/rancher/rke2/rke2.yaml" \
&& export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/var/lib/rancher/rke2/bin"
The installation process generates self-signed certificates on your behalf. These certificates will expire in 90 days, and you must replace them with certificates signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) as soon as installation completes. If you do not update the certificates, the installation will stop working after 90 days.
For instructions, see Managing certificates.
If you try to access the cluster with a web browser, and the certificates are not from a trusted CA, then you will see a warning in the browser. You can rectify this by importing and trusting the cluster SSL certificate on the client computer running the browser.
To manage certificates, take the following steps:
The Cluster Administration portal is a centralized location where you can find all the resources required to complete an Automation Suite installation and perform common post-installation operations. For details, see Getting started with the Cluster Administration portal.
To access the Cluster Administration portal, take the following step:
https://${CONFIG_CLUSTER_FQDN}/uipath-management
.The general-use Automation Suite user interface serves as a portal for both organization administrators and organization users. It is a common organization-level resource from where everyone can access all of your Automation Suite areas: administration pages, platform-level pages, product-specific pages, and user-specific pages.
To access Automation Suite, take the following steps:
The host portal is for system administrators to configure the Automation Suite instance. The settings that you configure from this portal are inherited by all your organizations, and some can be overwritten at the organization level.
To access host administration, take the following steps:
You can use the ArgoCD console to manage installed products.
Depending on the operations you want to carry out in ArgoCD, you can use two types of accounts to access the console:
- the read-only account in basic scenarios;
- admin account in advanced scenarios.
For more details on ArgoCD and how you can access it, see Managing the cluster in ArgoCD.
The monitoring stack for Automation Suite clusters includes Prometheus, Grafana, Alert Manager, and Longhorn Dashboard.
This page describes a series of monitoring scenarios.
For more details, see the official Rancher documentation on using Rancher Monitoring.
You can access the Automation Suite monitoring tools individually using the following URLs:
Application |
Tool |
URL |
Example |
---|---|---|---|
Metrics |
Prometheus |
|
|
Dashboard |
Grafana |
|
|
Alert Management |
Alert Manager |
|
|
Persistent Block Storage |
Longhorn dashboard |
|
|
To access the monitoring tools for the first time, log in as an admin with the following default credentials:
- Username: admin
- Password: to retrieve the password , run the following command:
kubectl get secrets/dex-static-credential -n uipath-auth -o "jsonpath={.data['password']}" | base64 -d
kubectl get secrets/dex-static-credential -n uipath-auth -o "jsonpath={.data['password']}" | base64 -d
To update the default password used for Dex authentication while accessing the monitoring tools, take the following steps.
Dex is a basic authentication method that is layered over the monitoring tools. Therefore, updating the Dex password does not impact the passwords for the monitoring tools. In this scenario, the passwords for the monitoring tools remain the same as before.
-
Run the following command by replacing
newpassword
with your new password:password="newpassword" password=$(echo -n $password | base64) kubectl patch secret dex-static-credential -n uipath-auth --type='json' -p="[{'op': 'replace', 'path': '/data/password', 'value': '$password'}]"
password="newpassword" password=$(echo -n $password | base64) kubectl patch secret dex-static-credential -n uipath-auth --type='json' -p="[{'op': 'replace', 'path': '/data/password', 'value': '$password'}]" -
Run the following command by replacing
<cluster_config.json>
with the path to your configuration file:/opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/UiPath_Installer/install-uipath.sh -i <cluster_config.json> -f -o output.json --accept-license-agreement
/opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/UiPath_Installer/install-uipath.sh -i <cluster_config.json> -f -o output.json --accept-license-agreement
You can access the database connection strings for each service as follows:
kubectl -n uipath get secret aicenter-secrets -o jsonpath='{.data.sqlConnectionString}' | base64 --decode
kubectl -n uipath get secret orchestrator-secrets -o jsonpath='{.data.sqlConnectionString}' | base64 --decode
kubectl -n uipath get secret automation-hub-secrets -o jsonpath='{.data.sqlConnectionString}' | base64 --decode
kubectl -n uipath get secret automation-ops-secrets -o jsonpath='{.data.sqlConnectionString}' | base64 --decode
kubectl -n uipath get secret insights-secrets -o jsonpath='{.data.sqlConnectionString}' | base64 --decode
kubectl -n uipath get secret platform-service-secrets -o jsonpath='{.data.sqlConnectionString}' | base64 --decode
kubectl -n uipath get secret test-manager-secrets -o jsonpath='{.data.sqlConnectionString}' | base64 --decode
kubectl -n uipath get secret aicenter-secrets -o jsonpath='{.data.sqlConnectionString}' | base64 --decode
kubectl -n uipath get secret orchestrator-secrets -o jsonpath='{.data.sqlConnectionString}' | base64 --decode
kubectl -n uipath get secret automation-hub-secrets -o jsonpath='{.data.sqlConnectionString}' | base64 --decode
kubectl -n uipath get secret automation-ops-secrets -o jsonpath='{.data.sqlConnectionString}' | base64 --decode
kubectl -n uipath get secret insights-secrets -o jsonpath='{.data.sqlConnectionString}' | base64 --decode
kubectl -n uipath get secret platform-service-secrets -o jsonpath='{.data.sqlConnectionString}' | base64 --decode
kubectl -n uipath get secret test-manager-secrets -o jsonpath='{.data.sqlConnectionString}' | base64 --decode
