Global search

Use global search to quickly find objects and navigate the CMP UI. The Admin page has its own search, scoped to admin content.

Platform configuration

Review and adjust your instance settings in Admin > Miscellaneous Settings.

Time zone

CMP uses UTC by default. To change it:

1. Connect to the CMP appliance over SSH.
2. Open /var/opt/cloudbolt/proserv/customer_settings.py in a text editor.
3. Set TIME_ZONE to a valid timezone name, for example TIME_ZONE = "America/New_York". See the list of tz database time zones.
4. Save the file, then run systemctl restart httpd.

Preconfigurations

Manage Preconfigurations (such as server size and software stack) in Admin > Preconfigurations.

Rates

Set up Rates to apply costs to your resources, in Admin > Rates.

Resource handlers

View, add, and configure resource handlers in Admin > Resource Handlers, one for each platform in your environment.

Server change tracking

Change a VM attribute, such as memory, directly in your platform. Select Refresh Info on the server in CMP, then open the server’s History tab to see the change tracked.

Group tree

Do more with the CMP group tree:

• Set up more groups and group types.
• Set quota limits and review the group tree’s quota usage.
• Delegate group administration: make another user the group admin, then remove yourself from the group.
• Manage user permissions: set up a user as a requestor only, then explore what they can see and do.
