Hazelcast Management Center enables you to monitor and manage your servers running hazelcast. With Management Center, in addition to monitoring overall state of your clusters, you can also analyze and browse your data structures in details. You can also update map configurations and take thread dump from nodes. With its scripting module, you can run scritps (JavaScript, Groovy etc.) on your servers. Version 2.0 is a web based tool so you can deploy it into your internal server and serve your users.
It is important to understand how it actually works. Basically you will deploy
mancenter.war
application into your Java web server and then tell
Hazelcast nodes to talk to that web application. That means, your Hazelcast nodes should know the
URL of
mancenter
application before they start.
Here are the steps:
Download the latest Hazelcast zip from hazelcast.com
Zip contains
mancenter.warfile. Deploy it to your web server (Tomcat, Jetty etc.) Let's say it is running athttp://localhost:8080/mancenter.Start your web server and make sure
http://localhost:8080/mancenteris up.Configure your Hazelcast nodes by adding the URL of your web app to your
hazelcast.xml. Hazelcast nodes will send their states to this URL.<management-center enabled="true">http://localhost:8080/mancenter</management-center>
Start your hazelcast cluster.
Browse to
http://localhost:8080/mancenterand login. Initial login username/passwords isadmin/admin
Management Center creates a directory with name "mancenter" under your "user/home" directory to save data files. You can change the data directory setting "hazelcast.mancenter.home" system property.
Default credentials are for the admin user. In the
Administration
tab,
Admin can add/remove/update users and control user read/write permissions.
The starter page of the tool isCluster Home. Here you can see cluster's main properties
such as uptime,
memory. Also with pie chart, you can see the distribution of partitions over cluster members. You can come
back to this page, by clicking the
Home
icon on the top-right toolbar.
On the left panel you see the Map/Queue/Topic instances in the cluster. At the bottom-left corner, members
of the cluster are listed.
On top menu bar, you can change the current tab toScripting, Docs,
userAdministration. Note that Administration tab is viewable only for admin users.
Also
Scripting
page is disabled for users with read-only credential.
