A typical PT Anywhere installation can be quite complex because it relies in different components that might be hosted by several machines.

This page lists some of the tools that I find useful to manage and monitor PT Anywhere.

Web client

• Your favourite web development tool should be enough (e.g., Firefox developer edition).

Web server

• Log files in the Tomcat log directory.
• The API is described using OpenAPI (formerly known as Swagger). Therefore, you can use Swagger-UI to explore and test its methods.
• To debug the web application, try this.

Session manager

• redis-cli
• This script lists current users.

Packet Tracer manager

• It exposes an API described using OpenAPI. Go to the application root (usually in the port 80) to find a Swagger-UI.
• This script creates N instances in the API.
• This script deallocates instances and deletes them.
• The Docker CLI can be used to check the containers created and their current status.
• See some useful commands here
• The API internally uses Celery. You can use Flower to monitor Celery. Flower should be already installed so start it using supervisorctl start celery:flower and go to the web application running on port 5554 (unless you have changed the default value in the Ansible script).

Learning Record Store

• Use the LearningLocker web dashboard.
• Use a client library to query it.
