Archives

Overview

Archives provides a way to store your files and make them available for download by your scripts and Users. Archives are organized by buckets and can be tied to any existing Bucket or File Share that may be currently integrated (for more on integrating new storage targets, see storage documentation). Thus, storage buckets in public clouds, on networked storage, or even on the appliance itself may be used to host files.

Archives List Page

To view or create Archives, navigate to Tools > Archives. At the Archives list page is a list of all currently-configured Archives. From the list view, the following details about each Archive are shown:

  • NAME: The name for the Archive in Morpheus

  • BUCKET: The integrated bucket or file share where files in this Archive are stored

  • # Files: The number of files in the Archive

  • SIZE: The total size of all files in the Archive

  • TENANTS: When Archive visibility is set to Private, only the Tenants listed here have access to the Archive

  • VISIBILITY: Public or Private, public Archives are available in all Tenants

  • PUBLIC URL: Indicates whether Morpheus is automatically generating a public download URL for files in this Archive

  • ACTIONS: Within the ACTIONS menu users may download a ZIP folder containing all files in the Archive, edit the Archive, or remove it

Adding an Archive

To add a new Archive, click + ADD from the Archives list page. Configure the following:

  • NAME: A friendly name for the Archive in Morpheus

  • DESCRIPTION: An optional description for the Archive

  • BUCKET: Select an existing bucket or file share to store files in for this Archive. To integrate a new bucket or file share to use for an Archive, navigate to Infrastructure > Storage

  • VISIBILITY: Public or Private, public Archives are available in all Tenants

  • TENANTS: When Archive visibility is set to Private, only the Tenants selected will have access to the Archive

Warning

Be sure that no sensitive data will be stored in the Archive if it will be configured to generate public URLs. Anyone with the public URL will be able to download the file without authentication.

Once done, click SAVE CHANGES

Archive Detail Page

The Archive detail contains information about the Archive configuration as well as a list of files currently stored in the Archive.

To delete the Archive, click DELETE. New files are added by clicking + ADD. When adding a new file, users may browse the file system on the local computer to select a file.

From the files list, download or delete individual files by clicking on the appropriate selection from the ACTIONS menu.
