First login

Logpresso Sonar (hereinafter "the server") provides a web service-based user interface. This web interface is called the "web console", and you can easily explore and use the various features of Logpresso Sonar through the web console.

Accessing the web console

The Logpresso Sonar web console complies with HTML5 standards and is accessible from most web browsers. If the server uses the default HTTPS port (443), you can omit the port number (e.g., https://192.0.2.1, https://sonar.example.com, https://sonar).

Logpresso Sonar uses a private certificate for server authentication, so your web browser will display a security warning. Verify that the server address you entered is correct, then bypass the security warning and proceed to connect.

Allowing web browser notification messages

When you access the web console, a message appears in the lower right corner of the screen indicating that the web browser has blocked notifications.

Change your web browser notification settings to "Allow" so that you can receive notifications from the server in the web console.

Login

You can use the web console after verifying your identity through password authentication or two-factor authentication (2FA).

Password authentication

Enter your login name and password, then click the Login button.

Note

If you enter the login name or password incorrectly multiple times, your account will be locked for a certain period. The number of allowed failed login attempts and account lock duration may vary depending on system settings. Contact the server administrator to unlock your account or change your password.

Two-factor authentication (2FA)

Accounts with 2FA enabled must complete an additional authentication step after entering the password. Logpresso Sonar supports two authentication methods: OTP (one-time password) and email. For instructions on enabling 2FA and configuring the authentication method in the account management screen, refer to this document.

Registering OTP authentication

When you first log in with an account that has OTP configured, you are directed to a screen to register your authentication method.

Install an OTP app on your mobile device. Select your mobile operating system, then scan the QR code generated below to navigate to the Google Authenticator download page. You may also use any other OTP app that complies with RFC 6238. If the OTP app is already installed, click the Next button.
Open the OTP app and scan the QR code displayed on the screen to set up OTP. If you cannot use your mobile device's camera due to security policies, click the View setup key link below the QR code and manually enter the setup key to register OTP. Once the setup is complete, click the Done button to finish OTP registration.

OTP authentication

On the Two-step verification screen, enter the 6-digit OTP code generated by the OTP app, then click the Verify button.
If authentication fails or a problem occurs, click Can't authenticate with OTP? to navigate to the 2FA reset request screen. Click the Send button to request a 2FA reset from the administrator.

Email authentication

When you log in with an account that has email authentication configured, a 6-digit verification code is automatically sent to the registered email address.

Enter the 6-digit verification code received via email, then click the Verify button. The verification code expires 5 minutes after it is sent. You can check the remaining time using the timer displayed to the right of the input field.
If you did not receive the verification code or it has expired, click the Resend verification code link to receive a new code.
If a problem occurs with authentication, click the Having trouble with authentication? link to send an inquiry email to the administrator.

Note

Email authentication requires SMTP to be configured on the server. If SMTP settings are incorrect, an error message will be displayed indicating that the verification code cannot be sent.

Changing password

To change your login password:

Click the icon in the upper right corner of the web console, then click your login name in the dropdown menu.
On the Profile screen, enter the new password in both the Password and Confirm password fields, then click the Save button in the lower right corner to save the changes.

Change theme

You can change the web console theme to Light or Dark. Click the left button (theme toggle) shown in the image below, located in the upper right corner of the web console, to open the dropdown menu. The icon of the theme toggle button changes depending on the currently applied theme.

Select the desired theme.

Screen lock and unlock

If you are logged into the web console and remain inactive for a certain period, or if you click the icon in the upper right corner and select Lock screen from the dropdown menu, the screen will be locked.

After the screen is locked, you must authenticate to use the web console again. Depending on your account settings, you may need to enter only your password, or you may also need to enter an OTP or email verification code.

Logout

To log out of the web console, click the icon in the upper right corner of the web console, then select Logout from the dropdown menu.
