Perform ClickOnce Deployment
The Hubble desktop application is used to configure connections, profiles, users, etc and build reports and visualizations.
Hubble desktop is packaged as a ClickOnce deployment within the web server installer.
Standard ClickOnce Deployment
To access Hubble , after the Web Server Deployment has completed (see Hubble Web Server Installation), use the following URL through Internet Explorer to install Hubble on the required Windows machines.
Note: Use https instead of http if your deployment uses HTTPS. Use a DNS name instead of an IP address; otherwise, ClickOnce updates will break if the Application Server IP changes.
Download and install Hubble ClickOnce application through:
http://<app_server_ip_or_DNS>:591/click-once/Hubble.application
Ensure you replace “<app_server_ip_or_DNS>” with the URL you use to access the Hubble Web application.
You will then be prompted to install Hubble .
After you choose the install option, Hubble will start downloading.
Note: If instead of the install prompt you get the error message “You cannot start application Hubble from this location because it is already installed from a different location” then you will have to manually uninstall the other version first and then try again.
Once the download and install has completed, Hubble desktop will open, but in a new installation, will not find any licenses in the repository:
You are now ready to add licenses. Once licenses have been added, you can start Hubble Desktop again via the shortcut added to your Start menu, or by re-visiting the original URL using Internet Explorer.
The RepositorySelection.xml file which describes how Hubble should connect to its repository can be downloaded to the PC by accessing the link:
http://<app_server_ip_or_DNS>:591/click-once/RepositorySelection.xml
Note: You may need to use https instead of http if your deployment is configured for that.
ClickOnce Deployment with Platform Integration
Important: Starting from Hubble 25.3 release, two ClickOnce deployment URLs are available:
- Hubble Desktop with Standard configuration
- Hubble Desktop with Platform configuration
Deployment Procedure
The deployment procedure for Platform integration follows the same steps as standard ClickOnce deployment, with the following URL:
http://<Hubble App Server IP>:591/click-once-platform/Hubble.application
Ensure you replace <Hubble App Server IP> with the IP address of your Hubble application server.
Note: You may need to use https instead of http if your deployment is configured for that.
