Knowledge Discovery 25.2
Getting Started Guide

# Access User Interfaces

The user interfaces available in the `basic-idol` Knowledge Discovery Docker Compose system allow you to view your ingest stream, and search your documents. Where your setup includes Media Server and MMAP, you can also use the MMAP video player to view the indexed video.

## Use NiFi Ingest

NiFi Ingest is a user interface that allows you to set up an ingest process. It provides connector processors that can retrieve documents from many different repositories, extract the useful content, and index it into Knowledge Discovery.

In the Knowledge Discovery Docker Compose system, you can access it at the following URL:

    http://DockerHost:8080/nifi/

Where `DockerHost` is the IP address or host name of the computer where you have run the docker containers.

The NiFi Ingest user interface allows you to view and modify the configured ingestion chain, and monitor the process.

In the basic system, the default ingest process indexes documents from the internal ingest volume or bindmount. It also performs Named Entity Recognition to extract personally identifiable information (PII) from the documents that you index.

When you use Media Server as well, it has additional processes to detect media files, and route them to Media Server for analysis, including Speech to Text for video files.

For information about how to modify the ingestion process in the NiFi setup, refer to the NiFi Ingest documentation.

## Use Find

Find is a search user interface that allows you to search and view documents. It also provides some graphics and text analytics, such as topic maps and sunburst diagrams to provide more insight into your search results.

In the Knowledge Discovery Docker Compose system, you can access it at the following URL:

    http://DockerHost:8080/find/

Where `DockerHost` is the IP address or host name of the computer where you have run the docker containers.

In the default setup, you can log in to Find by using the default login details, username admin and password admin.

NOTE: Find uses the Community component to store user details. For a more advanced system with multiple users, you can use the document security setup to add an LDAP server. In this case, you can log in to Find by using the user and password for a valid LDAP user. In this case, all users have the basic Find role, rather than the admin role, so the interface has different available features.

You can also add users to Community directly. In this case, you must run the `docker-compose up` command with the component ports exposed, by using the `docker-compose.expose-ports.yml` option. You can then manually add users to Community.

After you log in you can search for documents and view the graphs and options. When you use Media Server, Find can return your media files as well, and uses the MMAP video player to provide more advanced video playback and search options.
