Flexmonster Admin Panel is a cross-platform desktop application that provides a graphical user interface for Flexmonster Data Server used as a Windows/Unix service. With the Admin Panel, you can conveniently manage indexes, security, and other configs.
In this guide, you can find a description of the Admin Panel's functionality.
Flexmonster Admin Panel contains several tabs:
All configurations set in the Admin Panel are stored in the flexmonster-data-server/flexmonster-config.json file.
You can add or change configurations directly in the flexmonster-config.json file. This can be useful if you want to use the Data Server as a service on a computer without a GUI. Also, it allows you to set configurations that are not available in the Admin Panel (e.g., HSTS, RefreshSchedule, DataRefreshSchedule). See all available configurations.
Note flexmonster-config.json might be located in the following folder if you have been using the Data Server as a service prior to version 2.9.58:
C:/ProgramData/FlexmonsterDataServer/.~/.local/share/FlexmonsterDataServer/ (will resolve to /home/[current_user]/.local/share/FlexmonsterDataServer/).For information on running, stopping, and restarting the Data Server, see Running the Data Server.
