Defining Different Environments

There maybe scenarios where the administrator of owl needs to easily show (in the UI) what environment consumers of Owl are logged into. It would be easy to modify the owlmanange.sh script and add an additional parameter at start of owl-web, or to an init script created for how owl can be started with a badge displayed as to what environment consumers of Owl are logged into.

java -jar owl-web-2.0.0.jar --server.env=prod

In the image above notice the Owl-web UI now holds this “prod” identifier in the top right portion of the screen (find the arrow pointing at the circled “prod” tag for clarity). For each instantiation of Owl make sure to tag it with an appropriate name.
