Creating HTML advice pages for Insight Packs

You can use this optional feature to include static HTML expert advice pages for your Insight Packs.

Before you begin

To include static HTML expert advice pages in your Insight Pack, you must name the HTML file as follows.
InfoLinks.html

Procedure

  1. Save your HTML file, named InfoLinks.html, to the following location.
    <insight_pack_folder>/src-files/unity_apps/apps/
    where <insight_pack_folder> is the location of the Insight Pack that requires the HTML expert advice page.
  2. To change the name of the Dashboard app file that is created from the InfoLinks.html file, complete the following steps.
    1. Open the InfoLinks.html file from within the <insight_pack_folder> location.
    2. Change the title value between the <title> tags in the InfoLinks.html file.
      For example,
      <head>
              <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">
              <title><Dashboard><title>
      <head>
      
      where <Dashboard> is the name of the Dashboard app file.
  3. To create an Insight Pack with static HTML expert advice pages, complete the following steps.
    1. Click the project name in Eclipse Project Explorer.
    2. Click Build Insight Pack on the toolbar.
    The tool checks for the presence of the InfoLinks.html file. If the InfoLinks.html file is present, the tool creates the InfoLinks.py script and <Dashboard> app file
  4. (Optional) You can edit the name, title, and description fields in the JSON format <Dashboard> app file. You must rebuild the Insight Pack following any edits.

Results

Eclipse creates an Insight Pack archive (compressed file) for the project.

To view the static HTML expert advice pages, select the Insight Pack in the Search Dashboards tab in the IBM® Operations Analytics - Log Analysis UI.
