Exploring the Web Interface

Once you have successfully signed in, the Kraken Web interface opens to the Dashboard. From here, you can navigate to the Streaming, Settings, and Security sections.

Navigational Menus

Select Streaming from the sidebar to set up Streams, Inputs, Transcoders, Outputs, or Metadata.
Select Settings from the sidebar to:
- View or configure the Network Settings
- Manage Archive Locations/Stream Recording
- View or manage Reporting (status/events)
- Manage Licensing
- View or configure Services
- View or Update the current software
Select Security from the sidebar to manage:
- Accounts

Select Help Center from the sidebar to access online help. You will be re-directed to the Haivision InfoCenter website, which contains the Kraken documentation. See How to use the InfoCenter for tips and tricks for browsing the site.

Note

To access the most up-to-date documentation, Kraken routes users to documentation resources within doc.haivision.com.

For disconnected environments (i.e. if no external internet connection is available), the Kraken UI checks for an asset on the documentation portal, specifically 'https://assets.doc.haivision.com/assets/images/favicon.png', and will guide users to the local offline help when this asset is unavailable.

Tip

Kraken provides pop-up notifications for most actions taken from the web interface.

These notifications appear on the top-right of the screen and confirm/describe the status of the action. It is important to take note of these pop-ups, as some may contain messages or alerts that require user action.

System Monitoring

The dashboard provides users with key system information, including:

An Overall Bandwidth chart, displaying the overall bandwidth in Mb for Inputs (purple) and Outputs (teal).
The percentage of CPU and Memory Resources being used.
A Capacity Card, demonstrating the Stream and/or Bypass capacity load.
The Device Status Information, including: Version, Uptime, Stream Load, and Active Transcoder.
