Include config-manager plugin config file when running hopeit_server in addition to your existing config files for each process/server that needs to be monitored.

hopeit_server --port=8020 --config-files=server-config.json,plugins/ops/config-manager/config/plugin-config.json,my-app-config.json

Export list of hosts to connect to, and run a new hopeit_server instance with apps-visualizer plugin

export HOPEIT_APPS_VISUALIZER_HOSTS="http://host:8020,in-process"

hopeit_server --port=8098 --config-files=server-config.json,plugins/ops/apps-visualizer/config/plugin-config.json --api-file=plugins/ops/apps-visualizer/api/openapi.json

The first host in the list, specifies to monitor apps running in http://host:8020 by connecting in intervals to the server through config-manager plugin endpoints.

Using in-process as host name local process running apps-visualizer can be monitored also without network load.

Instead of using an environment variable, list of hosts can be directly added to a customized version of plugin-config.json

To enable Live! events activity visualization, configure and start an instance of log-streamer:

Copy config/plugin-config.json and customize parameters to match your runtime environment.

Run a hopeit_server instance with log_streamer, in each node where you run your applications:

hopeit_server --port=8099 --start-streams --config-files=server-config.json,customized-plugin-config.json

Now when you can switch from Static to Live view clicking on the label at the top right of the Apps Visualizer page

If you want also to monitor log-streamer app, you can set:

export HOPEIT_APPS_VISUALIZER_HOSTS=$HOPEIT_APPS_VISUALIZER_HOSTS,http://host:8099

and re-run apps-visualizer using hopeit_server command above.
