Database Manager

The DB Manager section in Erizos Studio Admin allows users to view, manage, and modify internal database content. This tool provides direct access to the underlying system data and must be used with caution.

You can access it from the sidebar by selecting DB Manager.

Database Manager

Database

This tab provides structured access to system collections (database entities), such as: - Shows - Templates - Playlists - Pages - User Interfaces - UI Mappings - Profiles - Engines - Branding - Global Variables - Users - Storage

When you select a row, on the right you see the associated with the chosen item info: - a table, where you see the ID/Path/Name/Show/Renderer etc. - depending on the entity type you have chosen.
- its content is displayed in JSON format on the right side of the screen.

In JSON subsection you can:

  • Update a record by editing the JSON and clicking Update.
  • Delete a record using the Delete button.

Note: Be extremely careful when editing records. Invalid modifications may corrupt data and affect system behavior.

Script

This tab allows administrators to run direct scripts on the database. For example:

1
2
3
4
    {
        db.datafeedproviders.deleteMany({})
        db.datafeeds.deleteMany({})
    }

These commands remove all data feed providers and data feeds from the system.

Warning

Executing incorrect or invalid scripts in this section may irreversibly corrupt the database.
Always create a backup before running any scripts.

Best Practices

  • Always create a backup before making any changes via DB Manager.
  • Avoid editing or deleting system-critical entities unless necessary.
  • Use the Script tab only when absolutely required, and test commands on a development environment first if possible.
