enterprise product for validation and production test operations and lifecycle analytics.System Link Enterprise allows you to manage your automated test systems,data collection,and reporting from a central location and use product-centric analytics to provide actionable insights.System Link Enterprise Key FeaturesSystem Link Enterprise includes the following key features.Systems management to perform operations such as managing system health,comparing systems,and deploying software to multiple systems at once.Asset management to track utilization,calibration information,and find assets.Test Insights application to ingest test data and monitor performance and status.Data tables to normalize data from multiple formats so you can run analysis on all data in a common format.Dashboards to monitor live systems and display key performance indicators.Jupyter notebooks to automate analysis,HTML,and PDF report generation.Routines to trigger Jupyter notebook execution on configurable events or on a schedule.Role-based access control to simplify user management and data access in a large organization.Kubernetes to manage container lifecycle,reliability,and horizontal scaling.Helm charts to simplify installation.National InstrumentsSystemLink EnterpriseWho needs SystemLink Enterprise?SystemLink Enterprise is for product and production engineers and lab managers working on a large corporate scale.Product managers can visualize and analyze their test results quickly and lab managers can ensure they are maximizing test equipment usage.What Are the Components of SystemLink Enterprise?SystemLink implements a server-client architecture to transmit data over a connected network between your systems and server.The architecture of SystemLink enables central coordination and management of your test and measurement systems,assets,software,and data.Refer to the following image to learn about the SystemLink architecture.O O O _SSO-SingleOCQ Sign OnIdentity Provider同室加圜Test Systemsi-ADocker,Ku be metesAuto-scaling&Service discoveryTTT局Role-based Access ControlSystems ManagementftAsset ManagementBFile IngestionAnalysis and Report GenerationDashboards andData Identity Provider-Used to authenticate and log users into the SystemLink web application.SystemLink requires the customer to supply an identity provider(IdP)that supports the OpenlD Connect protocol.Users-Have authenticated access to SystemLink through an OpenlD Connect identity provider(IdP).6 SystemLink Enterprise Test Systems-Execute test applications.SystemLink can manage these systems,install software at scale,track connected assets,and automatically ingest the data they produce.The authentication and authorization of test systems is managed within the role-base access control capabilities of SystemLink and are not backed by an IdP.Web Server-Enforces login configuration and redirection,inactivity timeout,and session management.API Load Balancer-Allows for high performance network communication directly into the Kubernetes cluster hosting SystemLink.Role-based Access Control-Provides strong isolation between different workspaces as well as privileges for systems,data,and analysis routines in SystemLink.You can manage roles and workspace access through OpenlD Connect user claims or direct assignment.Systems Management-Allows you to securely connect a test system to SystemLink,manage system configuration and settings,and remotely install software.Asset Management-Allows you to track assets connected to test systems and calculate the utilization of those assets.This data is retained when you move an asset between systems so that you can track asset utilization outside of the connected system or test application.Test Insights-Ingests test steps and results using a Test Stand plugin or API.You can organize test results by product and search them by querying test meta data.You can also create higher level test metrics and visualizations using integrations with analysis routines and SystemLink dashboards.File Ingestion-Allows you to store files on-premise or in the Cloud and query them without complex database syntax.Access to files via API and integration with Routines and Notebooks enables you to perform custom analysis of files immediately upon upload.DataFrame Tables-Enables the normalization of disparate data and file formats into a columnar data structure.You can associate DataFrame Tables with test results and use them to visualize and search data.Analysis and report generation-Enables interactive and automated analysis routines of test data via Jupyter Notebooks.These routines can National InstrumentsSystemLink Enterpriseproduce KPIs and computer analytics in dashboards as well as produce HTML and PDF reports.Kubernetes-Provides container orchestration,auto-scaling,and lifecycle management for the various services,web applications,and infrastructure that make up SystemLink Enterprise.8 SystemLink EnterpriseWhat Do You Need to Use SystemLink Enterprise?To use SystemLink Enterprise,you must have a Kubernetes cluster that meets the following requirements.Kubernetes Cluster Requirements A Kubernetes cluster running Kubernetes 1.22 with Linux worker nodes.Helm to configure and install the application.Dynamic Volume Provisioning enabled on the cluster.An NFS storage provisioner or equivalent storage class with ReadWriteMany access.External Data Storage Requirements An S3 or S3-compatible file storage interface.A PostgreSQL 13 or 14 instance or replica set.Networking and User Authentication Requirements An Nginx Ingress Controller for HTTP communication.DNS and three distinct host names.MetalLB for Salt transport.An identity provider with support for the OpenlD Connect protocol.Network access to Nls Artifact repository.National InstrumentsSystem Link EnterpriseSizing a System Link Enterprise ClusterSystem Link Enterprise can run on as few as two Kubernetes worker nodes and can scale to as many nodes as needed for your organization.Contact your account representative to determine specific hardware requirements for your deployment.For production deployments,Nl encourages administrators to provision enough worker nodes to enable a high availability configuration.Related concepts:SystemLink Enterprise Network InteractionsRelated tasks:Storing Dashboard
