The Hazelcast management center (mancenter) enables you to monitor and manage your
servers running hazelcast. Additionally, mancenter enables you to monitor the overall state of
your clusters, and analyze and browse your data structures in detail. This topic describes the
instructions for setting up a Hazelcast dashboard (mancenter).
The Hazelcast diagnostics and reporting application is a useful addition to a SkyVault
repository cluster. It can be installed on any servlet container.
- Install a servlet container, for example Tomcat. See Installing Tomcat application server for more information.
- Deploy the mancenter.war file to the servlet container.
-
Specify the location of the data directory by setting the java property,
hazelcast.mancenter.home. To do so, add the following property to
CATALINA_OPTS environment variable.
-Dhazelcast.mancenter.home=/home/tomcat7/mancenter_data
The data directory where the servlet container is running must be writeable by the user.
-
Set the repository property to enable mancenter use.
SkyVault.hazelcast.mancenter.enabled=true
-
Set the repository property, SkyVault.hazelcast.mancenter.url to point
to the mancenter web application.
SkyVault.hazelcast.mancenter.url=http://mancenter.example.com:8080/mancenter
- Ensure that the repository servers are able to access the mancenter server at the URL specified in Step 5. The cluster members will push any cluster information updates to this URL. Remember to configure appropriate firewall rules.
