Hudu-Axcient Dashboard

Bring Axcient into Hudu!

Hudu-Axcient Dashboard is a PowerShell-based helper to bring status information and links from Axcient x360Recover cloud backup service into Hudu documentation system.

Inspired by Luke's scripts and the CIPP Hudu integration, Hudu-Axcient Dashboard is designed to create a per-client overview dashboard via Magic Dash, and / or a per-device status at the top of a device asset.

Setup

• Clone repo, download files or retrieve just the necessary files from Releases
• Run setup.ps1 for fully-guided setup

Client matching

During setup, soft-matching will attempt to match Axcient companies to Hudu clients based on an exact name match. For any companies not matched this way setup will prompt you repeatedly to select matching pairs from a gridview.

Additionally, during run-time Hudu-Axcient Dashboard can automatically attempt to soft-match any unmatched companies. This does not update the match list, but allows updating companies immediately when new clients are added / names corrected on otherwise-unmatched pairs.

Styling

css-global.css contains a set of suggested tweaks to apply to the custom CSS for Hudu. Most of these are already present if you are syncing CIPP or utilizng any of Luke's scripts.

The primary settings file config.json allows specifying a custom CSS class (Dashboard shade) for healthy and not-healthy status. By default, the built-in success and danger classes are used. If not specified, no styling is applied.

css-magicdash.css contains example magic dash styling. This styling is added to the custom CSS list in Hudu. Magic Dash styling is highly extensible, these are basic examples.
