To use the Swarm Storage UI with Swarm Metrics, you need all of the enabling components, including a simplified Gateway (Service Proxy) to provide the needed access and an Elasticsearch (ES) service and curator. Your Platform Server download includes all of the packages and scripts needed to perform the installation and configuration of these components.

1. Install the Platform Server. See Platform Installation.

2. Add a Swarm license and start up the Storage nodes.

3. Run the integration script as root to configure the Service Gateway, adding arguments as appropriate:

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo configure_storage_webui_with_serviceproxy.sh

   Optional arguments	Purpose
   -h	Display help summary and then exit.
   -e INDEXER·HOST [INDEXER·HOST]	Specify one or more remote Elasticsearch hostnames or IPs, disabling (and preventing creation of) a local ES instance. Important: If you have an existing ES cluster, specify it here to avoid creating an extra local instance.

4. On completion, the script

   Info
   title Important
   If you later modify the password for the admin user or modify the membership of the storage cluster by adding or removing nodes/chassis, restart the Service Proxy so that it will register the changes: platform restart proxy

2. To verify that Metrics data is being collected, first allow at least 30 minutes to pass, which is the minimum it would take for new Storage data to be added and a Metrics collection cycle to have occurred.
