Horizon

Horizon is each location's own OpenStack dashboard. It shows everything the OpenStack APIs offer in that location, including services and settings the NubeStack Cloud console does not. You sign in to it with your NubeStack Cloud account.

Before you start

  • A project role (project admin, member or reader) on the project.
  • Your second factor: signing in to a location always asks for it.

Open a project in Horizon

  1. In the project, open Settings → Consoles and CLI.
  2. Choose Open in Horizon beside the project's location.
  3. On Horizon's sign-in page, choose the NubeStack Cloud sign-in (the option may be labelled Nexus).
  4. Sign in with your account, choose the organization, and give your second factor.

Horizon opens in the project.

Open an instance in Horizon

On an instance's page in the console, choose Console in Horizon. Horizon opens on that instance's page, where its graphical console is. For the browser console without Horizon, see Connect to an instance.

Switch organization

Horizon signs you in for one organization at a time. To switch, sign out of Horizon and wait three minutes before signing in again, or open the link in a private window.

If it does not open

You see What to do
No console registered The location has no Horizon for customers; use the console and the CLI
Sign-in failed its last check Try again later, or contact support
Horizon says you have no projects You have no project role there, or it was given in the last few minutes
Horizon opens the wrong organization Sign out, wait three minutes, and sign in choosing the right one

Good to know

  • What you make in Horizon appears in the console within about an hour, or at once after Refresh, marked outside Nexus.
  • Your access in Horizon follows your project role: member for project admins and members, reader for project readers where the location enforces it.
  • Removing your access ends it in Horizon within 15 minutes.
