# Administrative Applications

There are several IDOL applications that allow you to manipulate and modify the data in IDOL, and to monitor the IDOL services and applications.

## IDOL Admin

IDOL Admin allows you to administer your individual ACI Server IDOL components. IDOL Admin is a browser-based front-end that is deployed with each IDOL ACI server. It is served by the ACI server, so it requires no additional setup. The user interface provides different functionality depending on the component.

For all components, you can use IDOL Admin to:

- monitor IDOL performance, including log files

- search the configuration file

- control the IDOL service

Many components provide additional maintenance and diagnostic actions. For example, for the IDOL Content component, you can use IDOL Admin to:

- retrieve information about data in the index

- index documents

- modify data fields in index documents

- export indexed documents

- back up and restore the data index

- export diagnostics information

For more information, refer to the IDOL Admin User Guide.

## IDOL Site Admin

IDOL Site Admin is an administration component used to monitor and manage all the IDOL services in your setup. You can use IDOL Site Admin to start and stop services, and monitor individual services and the overall health of your IDOL services. You can also view all log files and configuration files, and access the IDOL Admin interface for individual components.

For information on how to install and access IDOL Site Admin, refer to the IDOL Site Admin Installation Guide.

For information about how to use IDOL Site Admin to monitor your services, refer to the IDOL Site Admin User Guide.

## IDOL Data Admin

IDOL Data Admin is an administration interface that allows you to manage data. It has three sections:

- Search Optimizer allows you to optimize the search process for your end users. Search optimizer allows you to create and modify promotions, keywords and boost rules:

  - Promotions allow you to predefine results that are returned to your users.

  - Keywords allow you to add synonyms for particular search terms, or block users from searching for particular terms.

  - Boost rules allow you to adjust the weightings of search results according to particular criteria.

  You can also view statistical information to help you refine the rules that you create, and make them more effective.

- Search allows you to search your index and test your search optimizer rules.

- Answer Bank allows you to set up a question and answer store in Answer Server (see Answer Server).

For information on how to install and access IDOL Data Admin, refer to the IDOL Data Admin Administration Guide .

## IDOL NiFi Ingest

IDOL NiFi Ingest adds IDOL functionality to the open-source Apache NiFi application.

When you deploy IDOL components into an Apache NiFi installation, you can use the browser-based NiFi user interface to build and manage your ingest pipeline.

The NiFi interface allows you to visualize how it ingests, processes, and indexes your content. In addition, the IDOL components extend the NiFi interface with tools such as guided setup wizards to help you use IDOL features. For example, as well as simple configuration tools, NiFi Ingest has interfaces to allow you to browse your repositories, edit Lua and Python scripts, and apply field standardization.

For more information, see IDOL Ingest, or refer to the IDOL NiFi Ingest Help.

## IDOL Media Server Graphical User interface

The IDOL Media Server has an action that allows you to access a graphical user interface (GUI) that makes certain tasks easier, and provides examples of some Media Server functionality.

In particular, the user interface provides tools that allow you to:

- set up Surveillance session configurations, which determine how Media Server can detect certain events. For example, you can use the GUI to define regions of a surveillance image and set up alerts for particular events.

- build custom object class recognition models. For example, the GUI provides a simple interface for you to define bounding boxes around objects, which makes it much easier to build and train the model.

For more information, see Rich Media or refer to the IDOL Media Server Help.
