Accessing monitor pages
The Manager UI uses monitor pages to present performance information on the selected appliance and the cluster as a whole. A monitor page is a browser page displayed as a result of “clicking” on a page button in the Manager UI. By default, the Manager UI starts in monitor mode (as opposed to configure mode), which displays Monitor page buttons.
▼Reaching Monitor pages
1 Open your browser to the Manager UI.
2 Enter the Administrator ID and password. By default, the Administrator ID is admin and the password is also admin. Intel recommends that the administrator change these values when the appliance is initially installed.
Note | Should you forget your password, contact Customer Service at Intel |
| Corporation for assistance. For information on how to contact Intel Customer |
| Service, see the Intel NetStructure Cache Appliance Product Support booklet |
| that came with your system. |
| 3 Click on a MONITOR tab. |
Note | Some performance displays rely on Java. To use the Monitor pages or any |
| other pages in the UI, make sure your browser is set to enable Java and |
| JavaScript. |
| Information displayed on the monitor mode pages fall into two categories: |
| information for the selected node in the cluster, and information for the cluster as |
| a whole. To view information on a given node, you need to access that node as |
| described in Changing the selected node‚ on page 20. |
Using the Dashboard page
The Dashboard page provides a concise view of the appliance and of the cluster. The page displays all nodes in the cluster by name and tracks essential statistics for each node. In the list of nodes, a single node is currently selected. Its name appears in black text without underlining, while the rest of the node names appear appear as hypertext links.
▼Reaching the Dashboard page
1 Be sure you are in monitor mode. If not, click the MONITOR tab. 2 Click the Dashboard page button.
Note By default, the Dashboard page appears after you log onto Manager UI with your Administrator ID and password.
Node- specific information
With the exception of the information on the Dashboard page and the cluster information on the Node page, performance information pertains to a single node.
