Active Profile Option (for development purpose):

If xconf-angular-admin is run with -Dspring.profiles.active=dev UI will use not compiled .js and .css files but the source files. See xconf-angular-admin/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp/xconfindex.jsp for details. That can be useful for local development purpose, to update UI it is just needed to reload page with cache refresh option.

FAQ 

1. The 'mvn clean install' step is stuck at 'org.hyperic.sigar.SigarException: no libsigar-amd64-linux.so in java.library.path' . Is this an issue?
   
   

   This is an exception from unit test , but the tests will run successfully. Build process may stall for some time but the build will be successful and the application can be launched successfully. So it can be ignored as well. Or you can run the mvn build step - 'mvn clean install -DskipTests=true', instead of the 'mvn clean install'.

   
   
   
   
2.  In Xconf server,  what is the 'Environment'  tab for?  which module will reference it?

         This can be added in the build conditions just like you add maclists or IPlists.
