Hazelcast Management Center Reference Manual

Hazelcast Management Center is delivered with Hazelcast IMDG. It can also be downloaded as a separate package from the hazelcast.org website.

See the Hazelcast IMDG Reference Manual for all Hazelcast IMDG topics including the clusters and their operations, clients, data structures, computing and WAN replication.

Hazelcast Management Center and this Reference Manual are free and provided under the Apache License, Version 2.0.

Hazelcast is a registered trademark of Hazelcast, Inc. All other trademarks in this manual are held by their respective owners.

Support is provided via the following channels:

See the Release Notes document for the new features, enhancements and fixes performed for each Hazelcast Management Center release.

Hazelcast Management Center is included in the Hazelcast IMDG download package. You can download it from the download page of Hazelcast’s website.

When a new Hazelcast IMDG version is released, it comes with the Management Center having the same version with IMDG. There may be times when a new Management Center version is released before a new version of Hazelcast IMDG. In that case, you may download the new Management Center from its download page as a separate package. Note that, the Management Center is compatible with Hazelcast IMDG cluster members having the same or the previous minor version. For example, Hazelcast Management Center version 3.12.x works with Hazelcast IMDG cluster members having version 3.11.x or 3.12.x.

You have two options to start the Management Center service:

When starting the Management Center from the command line, a license can be provided using the system property hazelcast.mc.license. For example by using the command line parameter:

When this option is used, the license provided takes precedence over any license set and stored previously using the user interface. Previously stored licenses are not affected and will be used again when the Management Center is started without the hazelcast.mc.license property. This also means no new license can be stored when the property is used.

You can also start the Management Center with an extra classpath entry (for example, when using JAAS authentication) by using the following command:

On Windows, the command becomes as follows (semicolon instead of colon):

You can set a frequency (in seconds) for which the Management Center retrieves information from the Hazelcast IMDG cluster, using the update-interval attribute as shown below:

Using this attribute is optional and its default value is 3 seconds.

The disk space used by the Management Center is constrained to avoid exceeding available disk space. When the set limit is exceeded, the Management Center deals with this in the following ways:

Usually, either of the above automatically resolves the situation and makes room for new data. Depending on the disk usage configuration and the kind of data that contributes to exceeding the limit it can occur that the limit continues to be exceeded. In this case, the Management Center does not store new alerts or metrics data. Other data (like configurations and account information) is still stored as they hardly cause larger data volumes.

An active blockage is reported in the UI as an error notification, as shown below:

However, storage operations do not explicitly fail or report errors since this would constantly cause interruptions and error logging both in the UI and logs.

One way to resolve a blockage is deleting the data manually, e.g., deleting a filter that caused many alerts in the alerts view. Another way is to restart the Management Center with a higher limit or in the purge mode (if not used before).

You can use the following system properties to configure the Management Center’s disk usage control:

It is important to understand that the limit given is a soft limit, a high water mark. The Management Center will act if it is exceeded but it might be exceeded by a margin between two measurements. Do not set it to the absolute maximum disk space available. A smaller interval increases accuracy but also performance overhead.

In case of a misconfiguration of any of the above three properties, the Management Center logs the problem and aborts startup immediately.

When running the Management Center from the command line, you can enable the Health Check endpoint. This endpoint responds with 200 OK HTTP status code once the Management Center web application has started. The endpoint is available on port <Management Center HTTP port> + 1 with context path <Management Center context path>/health (by default, its URL is http://localhost:8081/hazelcast-mancenter/health). Note that the HTTP protocol is always used for the Health Check endpoint, independently of TLS/SSL settings, and no additional authentication is enforced for it.

If you want to enable the Health Check endpoint, use the following command line argument:

This section provides information on how to configure the Management Center sessions for various aspects including timeouts and login/logout operations.

This section provides information on how to use and manage the Management Center with TLS/SSL and mutual authentication. You will also learn how to force the users to specify passwords that are hard to guess.

The Management Center uses Logback for its logging. By default, it uses the following configuration:

To change the logging configuration, you can create a custom Logback configuration file and start the Management Center with the -Dlogback.configurationFile option pointing to your configuration file.

For example, you can create a file named logback-custom.xml with the following content and set logging level to DEBUG. To use this file as the logging configuration, you need to start the Management Center with the -Dlogback.configurationFile=/path/to/your/logback-custom.xml command line parameter:

You can configure the SMTP timeout for the outgoing email alerts using the following system properties:

Variable replacers are used to replace custom strings during loading the configuration, either passed as command line arguments or as part of a configuration file, such as ldap.properties or jaas.properties. They can be used to mask sensitive information such as usernames and passwords. Of course their usage is not limited to security related information.

Variable replacers implement the interface com.hazelcast.webmonitor.configreplacer.spi.ConfigReplacer and they are configured via the following command line arguments:

The following replacer classes are provided by Hazelcast as example implementations of the ConfigReplacer interface. Note that you can also implement your own replacers.

Each example replacer is explained in the following sections.

Hazelcast IMDG cluster members and Management Center talk to each other for the following situations:

This section describes the first two situations. For the third one, see the Executing Console Commands section.

Hazelcast members send their statistics to the Management Center by opening an HTTP connection as configured on the member side, as shown below:

This communication starts at an ephemeral port on the member and goes to the port 8080 of the Management Center. This connection can also be configured to have TLS/SSL in which case it typically uses the port 8443 on the Management Center. See the previous section for more information on this.

In addition to the statistics, the other communication path is when the members query the Management Center to see if there are any operations to be performed. The Management Center has a command queue, and the members open an HTTP connection to the Management Center for this purpose. If there are operations for a member, then it fetches those, runs the operations and then makes another HTTP request to the Management Center for putting the responses. As it is in sending the statistics, this communication also starts at an ephemeral port on the member and goes to the port 8080 of the Management Center.

You can use the default security provider for authentication/authorization on the Management Center. In this case, the user accounts are stored in the Management Center’s database.

Provide the details in this form for the default security provider:

You can use your existing Active Directory server for authentication/authorization on the Management Center. In the "Configure Security" page, select Active Directory from the "Security Provider" combo box, and the following form page appears:

Provide the details in this form for your Active Directory server:

Before saving the configuration, you can test it by clicking the Test button. Note that the user you test with needs to be a member of one of the groups you have configured for the Management Center.

Once configured, Active Directory settings are saved in a file named ldap.properties under the hazelcast-mc directory mentioned in the previous section. If you want to update your settings afterwards, you need to update ldap.properties file and click Reload Security Config button on the login page.

You can use your own javax.security.auth.spi.LoginModule implementation for authentication/authorization on the Management Center. In the "Configure Security" page, select JAAS from the "Security Provider" combo box, and the following page appears:

Provide the details in this form for your JAAS LoginModule implementation:

The following is an example implementation. Note that we return two java.security.Principal instances; one of them is the username and the other one is a group name, which you will use when configuring JAAS security as described above.

You can use your existing LDAP server for authentication/authorization on the Management Center. In the "Configure Security" page, select LDAP from the "Security Provider" combo box, and the following form page appears:

Provide the details in this form for your LDAP server:

Once configured, LDAP settings are saved in a file named ldap.properties under the hazelcast-mc directory mentioned in the previous section. If you want to update your settings afterwards, you need to update the ldap.properties file and click on the Reload Security Config button on the login page.

The toolbar has the following elements:

The user can select any cluster and once selected, the page immediately loads with the selected cluster’s information.

The Home Page includes a menu on the left which lists the distributed data structures in the cluster, cluster members and clients connected to the cluster (numbers in square brackets show the instance count for each entity), as shown below. You can also see an overview state of your cluster, create alerts, execute codes and perform user/license operations using this menu:

The following is the list of menu items with links to their explanations:

This part of the page provides information related to the memory usages for each member, as shown below:

The first column lists the members with their IPs and ports. The next columns show the used and free memories out of the total memory reserved for Hazelcast IMDG usage, in real-time. The Max. Heap column lists the maximum memory capacity of each member and the Heap Usage Percentage column lists the percentage value of used memory out of the maximum memory. The Used Heap column shows the memory usage of members graphically. When you move the mouse cursor on a desired graph, you can see the memory usage at the time where the cursor is placed. Graphs under this column show the memory usages approximately for the last 2 minutes.

This part of the page graphically provides the cluster wise breakdown of heap memory, as shown below. The blue area is the heap memory used by the maps (including all owned/backup entries, any near cache usage and cost of the Merkle tree). The dark yellow area is the heap memory used by both non-Hazelcast entities and all Hazelcast entities except the map, i.e., the heap memory used by all entities subtracted by the heap memory used by map. The green area is the free heap memory out of the whole cluster’s total committed heap memory.

In the above example, you can see about 3% of the total heap memory is used by Hazelcast IMDG maps, about 30% is used by both non-Hazelcast entities and all Hazelcast entities except the map and the rest of the total heap memory is free. You can see the exact percentages by placing the mouse cursor on the chart.

This part has the following status indicator elements:

This chart shows what percentage of partitions each cluster member has, as shown below:

You can see each member’s partition percentages by placing the mouse cursor on the chart. In the above example, you can see that each member has about 33.3% of the total partition count (which is 271 by default and configurable; see the hazelcast.partition.count property explained in the System Properties section in the Hazelcast IMDG Reference Manual).

This part of the page provides load and utilization information for the CPUs for each cluster member, as shown below:

The first column lists the members with their IPs and ports. The next columns list the system load averages on each member for the last 1, 5 and 15 minutes. These average values are calculated as the sum of the count of runnable entities running on and queued to the available CPUs averaged over the last 1, 5 and 15 minutes. This calculation is operating system specific, typically a damped time-dependent average. If system load average is not available, these columns show negative values.

The last column (Utilization(%)) graphically shows the recent load on the CPUs. When you move the mouse cursor on a chart, you can see the CPU load at the time where the cursor is placed. The charts under this column shows the CPU loads approximately for the last 2 minutes. If recent CPU load is not available, you will see N/A values.

The Filter tab includes Cluster Client Filtering status, Cluster Client Filter Settings and Client Filtering Lists sections, as shown below.

The Cluster Client Filtering status section describes if there is a deployed client filtering list available to all cluster members (Enabled status), or if the feature is disabled for the cluster and the members allow any clients (Disabled status).

The Cluster Client Filter Settings section allows to specify the status of the feature and the filtering type and to deploy any modifications made in client filtering lists to the deployed list available to all cluster members. On the deploy action the following happens:

Once a cluster member receives the deployed client filtering list from the Management Center, it immediately applies the list to all currently connected clients and then uses it for newly connecting clients. Blacklisted clients may connect to another cluster if they are configured to support blue-green deployment. Please see the Blue-Green Deployment and Disaster Recovery section in the Hazelcast IMDG Reference Manual for more information.

The deploy action in the Cluster Client Filter Settings section is available by clicking on the Deployed/Deploy Changes button. This button also describes if there were any changes in client filtering lists that would lead to changes in the deployed client filtering list as the result of the deploy (Deploy Changes label), or there were no such changes (Deployed label).

The Client Filtering Lists section allows creation, editing and deletion of the client filtering lists. To create a new client filtering list, you need to click the Add New List button, which will open the Create List form, as shown below. Once you enter all fields and entries for the new list, click the Save button to save your modifications.

The following formats of list entry values are supported:

To modify an existing client filtering list, you need to click the Edit button, which will open the Edit List form, as shown below.

To delete an existing client filtering list, you need to click the Delete button and confirm your action in the opened dialog.

After clicking the Add Configuration button, the new WAN replication configuration is added to the cluster. You can see the new configuration when you try to initiate a WAN sync operation as described in the previous section.

Select the Member Alerts check box to create filters for some or all members in the cluster. Once selected, the next screen asks for which members the alert will be created. Select the desired members and click on the Next button. On the next page (shown below), specify the criteria.

You can create alerts when:

When two or more criteria is specified they will be bound with the logical operator AND.

On the next page, give a name for the filter. Then, select whether the notification emails will be sent to the Management Center Admins using the Send Email Alert checkbox. Then, provide a time interval (in seconds) for which the emails with the same notification content will be sent using the Email Interval (secs) field. Finally, select whether the alert data will be written to the disk (if checked, you can see the alert log in the directory /users/<your user>/hazelcast-mc).

Click on the Save button; your filter will be saved and put into the Filters part of the page. To edit the filter, click on the icon. To delete it, click on the icon.

Select the Data Type Alerts check box to create filters for data structures. The next screen asks for which data structure (maps, queues, multimaps, executors) the alert will be created. Once a structure is selected, the next screen immediately loads and asks you to select the data structure instances, e.g., if you selected Maps, it lists all the maps defined in the cluster; you can select one or more maps. Select as desired, click on the Next button, and select the members on which the selected data structure instances will run.

The next screen, as shown below, is the one where you specify the criteria for the selected data structure.

As the screen shown above shows, you will select an item from the left combo box, select the operator in the middle one, specify a value in the input field, and click on the Add button. You can create more than one criteria in this page; those will be bound by the logical operator AND.

After you specify the criteria, click on the Next button. On the next page, give a name for the filter. Then, select whether the notification emails will be sent to the Management Center Admins using the Send Email Alert checkbox. Then, provide a time interval (in seconds) for which the emails with the same notification content will be sent using the Email Interval (secs) field. Finally, select whether the alert data will be written to the disk (if checked, you can see the alert log in the directory /users/<your user>/hazelcast-mc).

Click on the Save button; your filter will be saved and put into the Filters part of the page. To edit the filter, click on the icon. To delete it, click on the icon.

In case the email notifications do not arrive, you can turn on verbose logging by passing the -Dhazelcast.mc.mail.debug=true command line parameter. Note that the email debugging output is written into stdout directly, bypassing Logback logger.

The admin user can see and change the cluster state and shut down the cluster using the buttons listed in this page as shown below.

Cluster States:

Changing the Cluster State

Shutting Down the Cluster

If an exception occurs during the state change or shutdown operation on the cluster, this exception message is shown on the screen as a notification.

To update the Management Center license, you can open the Manage License tab and click on the Update License button and enter the new license code.

Alternatively, a license can be provided using the hazelcast.mc.license system property (see the Starting with a License section for details).

If the Hazelcast IMDG cluster is configured to use a socket interceptor, you need to configure one for Management Center as well. Enter the name of your socket interceptor class and the configuration parameters. Then click on the Configure Socket Interceptor button to save your configuration and enable the socket interceptor. The class whose name you entered into the "Class Name" field needs to be on your classpath when you are starting the Management Center. The configuration parameters you provide will be used to invoke the init method of your socket interceptor implementation if it has such a method.

The following is an example socket interceptor class implementation:

A socket interceptor implementation needs to satisfy the following conditions:

Hazelcast IMDG cluster members need to be configured with the Management Center’s URL before they are started. If Management Center’s URL is changed for some reason, you can use this page to make Hazelcast members send their statistics to the new Management Center URL. However, this has the following caveats:

To change the URL, enter the Cluster Name and Password, provide the IP address and port for one of the members, and specify the new Management Center URL in the Server URL field. If the cluster members are configured to use TLS/SSL for communicating between themselves, check the SSL box. Clicking on the Set URL button updates the Management Center URL.

To add a user to the system, specify the username, email and password in the Add/Edit User part of the page. If the user to be added will have administrator privileges, select the isAdmin checkbox. The Permissions field has the following checkboxes:

After you enter/select all the fields, click on the Save button to create the user. You will see the newly created user’s username on the left side, in the Users part of the page.

To edit or delete a user, select a username listed in the Users. Selected user information appears on the right side of the page. To update the user information, change the fields as desired and click on the Save button. You can also change a user’s password or delete the user account. To change the user’s password, click on the Change Password button. To delete the user from the system, click on the Delete button. Note that changing the password of a user and deleting the user account both require you to enter your own password.

The admin user can upgrade the cluster version once all members of the cluster have been upgraded to the intended codebase version as described in the Rolling Upgrade Procedure section of the Hazelcast IMDG Reference Manual.

Open the Rolling Upgrade tab to perform a Rolling Upgrade and change the cluster’s version.

Enter the group name/password of the cluster and the version you want to upgrade the cluster to, and click on the Change Version button.

Once the operation succeeds, you will see the following notification:

Using the Hot Restart tab, you can perform force and partial start of the cluster and see the Hot Restart status of the cluster members. You can also take snapshots of the Hot Restart Store (Hot Backup). When you click on this tab, the following page is shown:

Below sections explain each operation.

The CP Subsystem tab can be used to monitor overall status of the CP subsystem in the current cluster and perform certain management operations.

See Custom JMX instrumentation by YAML on the New Relic webpage.

The following is an example Map monitoring .yml file for New Relic:
