  • Minimal Technical Requirements (MTRs) - the requirements (both for hardware and software) that must be met by the infrastructure provided by the customer.
  • Hubble Application Server - the machine that hosts the Hubble services (i.e. all the software needed to support Hubble Desktop and Web). This must be a Linux machine supplied by the customer, with all services run in Docker containers. It is also the entry point for the Hubble Web UI as it performs the load balances between all the available Hubble Web Servers.
  • Hubble Web Server - a machine that hosts the Hubble Web UI. A Windows Server 2016, 2019 or 2022 machine supplied by the customer to which we deploy our software through the Hubble Web Server Installer.
  • Hubble Accelerator - a virtual machine that contains our database accelerator and replication server. It is supplied by Hubble as an OVA and can be deployed through VMware.
  • Hubble Web UI - the page you can use to access Hubble Web through a browser.
  • Hubble Application Server Package - the file in a tar.gz format that contains all that is needed to deploy our Hubble services on the Hubble Application Server.
  • Pre-Requisites Tests - tests that are run before starting any of the Hubble installation software to ensure that the MTRs are met. If any of these fail, the software installation/upgrade won't proceed.
  • Deployment Verification Tests - tests that verify that all the Hubble services were started correctly. These will be carried out after all the other deployment steps are completed.
  • Hubble Configuration UI / Configuration Form - the web page used to create and update the configurations needed for the Hubble deployment. It runs in the Hubble Application Server and it is accessible (if started) at the following location: http://<application_server_ip_address>:3000/.
  • Hubble Web Server Installer - the web server installer. This is an executable that contains all the files and tools needed to install and configure Hubble Web to a Windows 2012 machine.
  • run-list.json - the file that contains the web servers configuration. It is an output created by the submission of the Hubble Configuration UI form.
  • run.bat - the Windows web server deployment script. This will run Chef with the configurations supplied in the run-list.json file.
  • Hubble Reporting Software - these are the desktop clients that are used for administration and reports creation. The clients can be provided either through an .msi installer or through Click Once deployments.
  • Hubble Customer Services - the Hubble representatives that are in contact with your company to support you during the installation/upgrade process.
