HTTP Administration Overview
Riak CS exposes the following administrative capabilities over HTTP above and beyond those associated with Riak itself:
| Task | CS URI | Further reading |
|---|---|---|
| User management | /riak-cs/user |
Account Management |
| User access statistics | /riak-cs/usage |
Querying Access Statistics |
| Storage statistics | /riak-cs/usage |
Querying Storage Statistics |
| Global statistics | /riak-cs/stats |
Monitoring and Metrics |
By default, these are accessible over the same IP/port as the rest of the CS API, but they can be configured to run elsewhere, with or without authentication.
Output format
For these requests, results are available as either JSON or XML. Request
the appropriate data format by using the HTTP Accept header with
either application/json or application/xml, respectively.
URLs
Each of these requests is performed over the CS HTTP port (8080 by
default) or administrative port if configured via admin_port. The
admin_ip configuration setting can be used to further isolate the
administrative commands.
Only the admin user can view other users’ details unless the
admin_auth_enabled config is set to false.
Retrieving Statistics Via S3 Objects
As an alternative to raw HTTP requests, the administrative requests can be issued via the S3 API. See the GitHub documents linked below for more details.
