First Time Setup

Part 1. Setting up your account

As a first-time user, you will be presented with a 3-step process to set up your account. As shown below, the first step after successful authentication is to provide basic information about yourself and your company.

Provide the necessary information and click the "Continue" button.

On the right half of the page, there is a form with five fields to enter your name, last name, e-mail, organization and role. Right after the last field, there is a message stating that 'By Clicking on the continue button, you agree to our Privacy Policy', providing links to the Privacy Policy. Lastly, at the bottom right part of the screen there is a big orange 'Create Account' button.

After clicking on the 'Create Account' you will be presented with a screen to accept the AxonIQ Servce Subscription agreement.

Part 2. Setting up your workspace

One of the most important aspects of the AxonIQ Console is your Workspace. Workspaces are collections of users and environments that allow teams and departments to define an instance (or group of instances) of AxonIQ technologies.

Provide a name for your Workspace.

Part 3. Creating a new environment

After setting up your Workspace, the next step is to specify the name of the Environment that you plan to work in. So, what exactly is an Environment?

Environments play a crucial role for both Axon Server instances and Axon Framework applications. For apps that utilize Axon Framework, they report their metrics within the Environment itself. When using Axon Server, all server instances with the Environment can be discovered, viewed, and managed.

Environments allow you to specify deployment scenarios such as:

  • Development

  • Testing

  • Pre-production

  • Production

Therefore, Environments are extremely versatile logical groupings for your Axon Server instances. For example, if you want to separate your Axon Server instances by geographic regions, you can name them according to their location, such as:

  • North America

  • Europe

  • Asia

  • Rest of the World

The best practice is to specify a name for the Environment with an idea of other Environments that you may want to create in the future.

Provide a name for your Environment and click the "Create Workspace" button.

Screenshot of the dialog to set a workspace and the first environment. The dialog title is 'Time to set up a workspace' and right below the title a brief explanation of what a workspace is for AxonIQ Console. It also has a explanation of what is the first Environment. The dialog shows two fields to fill: one for the Workspace name and a second one for the First Environment name. In this screenshot the Workspace name field is filled with the 'Action House' name and the 'First environment field' is marked in red to show that is a required field. At the right bottom side of the form, there is an orange button with the label 'Create Workspace'.
