With the web console,
you can chart current
and historical statistics. This console provides some preconfigured
charts for high-level overviews, and has a custom reports page that
you can use to build charts from the available statistics. You can
use the charting capabilities in the monitoring console of WebSphere eXtreme Scale to view the overall
performance of the data grids in your environment.
Install the web console as an optional feature when you run
the installation wizard.
- Start the console server. The startConsoleServer.bat|sh script
for starting the console server is in the wxs_install_root/ObjectGrid/bin directory
of your installation.
- Log on to the console.
- From your web browser, go to https://your.console.host:7443,
replacing your.console.host with the host name of
the server onto which you installed the console.
- Log on to the console.
- User ID: admin
- Password: admin
The console welcome page is displayed.
- Edit the console configuration. Click to review the console configuration. The console configuration
includes information such as:
- Trace string for the WebSphere eXtreme Scale client,
such as *=all=disabled
- The Administrator name and password
- The Administrator e-mail address
- Establish and maintain connections
to catalog servers that you want to monitor. Repeat the following
steps to add each catalog server to the configuration.
- Click .
- Add a new catalog server.
- Click the add icon (
) to register an existing catalog server.
- Provide information, such as the host name and listener port.
See Planning for network ports for more information about
port configuration and defaults.
- Click OK.
- Verify that the catalog server has been added to the navigation
tree.
- Group the catalog servers that you created
into a catalog service domain. You must create a catalog
service domain when security is enabled in your catalog servers because
security settings are configured in the catalog service domain.
- Click page.
- Add a new catalog service domain.
- Click the add icon (
) to register a catalog service domain. Enter a
name for the catalog service domain.
- After you create the catalog service domain, you can edit the
properties. The catalog service domain properties follow:
- Name
- Indicates the host name of the domain, as assigned by the administrator.
- Catalog servers
- Lists one or more catalog servers that belong to the selected
domain. You can add the catalog servers that you created in the previous
step.
- Generator class
- Specifies the name of the class that implements the CredentialGenerator interface.
This class is used to get credentials for clients. If you specify
a value in this field, the value overrides the crendentialGeneratorClass property
in the client.properties file.
- Generator properties
- Specifies the properties for the CredentialGenerator implementation
class. The properties are set to the object with the setProperties(String) method.
The credentialGeneratorprops value is used only if the value of the
credentialGeneratorClass property is not null. If you specify a value
in this field, the value overrides the credentialGeneratorProps property
in the client.properties file.
- eXtreme Scale client properties path
- Specifies the path to the client properties file that you edited
to include security properties in a previous step. For example, you
might indicate the c:\ObjectGridProperties\sampleclient.properties file.
If you want to stop the console from trying to use secure connections,
you can delete the value in this field. After you set the path, the
console uses an unsecured connection.
- Click OK.
- Verify that the domain has been added to the navigation tree.
To view information about an existing catalog service domain,
click the name of the catalog service domain in the navigation tree
on the page.
- View the connection status. The Current
domain field indicates the name of the catalog service
domain that is currently being used to display information in the
web console. The connection status displays next to the name of the
catalog service domain.
- View statistics for the data grids and servers, or create
a custom report.
