Testing installation with the demo mode

In this walkthrough, you will:

  1. Setup the demo mode
  2. Connect to the UI
  3. Select the demo Whisperer
  4. See your own activity being captured live

Setup the demo mode​

In your configuration values.yaml file, set the option:

global:
  isDemo: true

Upgrade your installation:

$ helm upgrade spider floocus/spider-analyzer \
  -f ./values.yaml \
  --namespace spider-system

Spider will create a set of team, users and whisperers that allows to play around.
One whisperer is configured to capture some microservices of Spider itself... so you will see streaming captured data flowing in!

    • Spider is being tested in priority on Chrome, but works on other browsers.
  2. You will be redirected to the login page.
  3. Login as your administrator account created at installation
