This instruction will be useful if you want to reach instances that are behind firewall outside of network by using the Putty SSH Client and SSH Port Tunneling.

Here is an instruction on how you will be able to do it: https://howto.ccs.neu.edu/howto/windows/ssh-port-tunneling-with-putty/

For example to access the Tableau server at:  https://10.80.7.94 you need to:

1) In Putty

Under Add new forwarded port:, enter the following information:

Source port: [port on local machine]   (Source port: 8443)

Destination: [hostname of ccis machine]:[port on ccis machine]   (Destination: 10.80.7.94:443)

Click Add button.

2) Under Add new forwarded port:, enter the following information:Then connect to MI via this Putty.

3) Then access Tableau via url in web browser: https://localhost:8443

Also this technique is useful to reach MI instances that are behind a firewall - https://subdomain.metricinsights.com, Destination will look like subdomain.metricinsights.com:443.

This error can come up when updating Debian or Metric Insights Tools.

This article provides an example of using the Metric Insights API via JavaScript to display Alerts and other items in your website.

See the follow-on article to see what items to pull via API such as which Element ID to use for your Metric or Report in Metric Insights.

PRE-REQUISITES:

• Set up API access.  
• Verify that you have API access
• Obtain a token via a get token call since all API calls require a token

The first thing you should check is if the dimension values of the dimension assigned to the element are 'visible' (Show as Tile) http://prntscr.com/9lwlra

MI will only display tiles on the home page for dimension values that are set to 'visible'. To find the current settings, edit your dimension (http://img.mtrc.in/100d0J0b0H3k) and then check the dimension values grid at the bottom fo the page (http://img.mtrc.in/1y0s1i2C1p2A). You can adjust the visibility settings individually (http://img.mtrc.in/3J1o0v1H1p0H) or en masse (http://img.mtrc.in/251s2A1S0m39).
