Section Summary: GigaSpaces Management Center is a GUI that allows you to view spaces, containers, and clusters and configure them, using the Space Browser tab. You can also deploy and manage services using the Deployments tab.
Using the GigaSpaces Management Center in production and large-scale environments
It is highly recommended to run the GigaSpaces Management Center on the same network subnet as the Data-Grid and other GigaSpaces runtime components are running. Since the GigaSpaces Management Center communicates with the Data-Grid,GSCs, GSM, GSA and Lookup-Service continuously, it should have fast connectivity with these components. High latency connectivity will impact the responsiveness of the GigaSpaces Management Center and its initial bootstrap time. In production environments you should use remote desktop products such as VNC or No Machine, run the GigaSpaces Management Center at the same network subnet as the Data-Grid and the other GigaSpaces runtime components and run the VNC or NX client side to access the remote machines desktop from the administrator machine desktop.
With relatively large amount of GSCs , Services or Data-Grid partitions (over 20 units) it is recommended to increase the heap size of the GigaSpaces Management Center to 1G (-Xmx1g).
Overview
GigaSpaces Management Center is a Graphical User Interface that allows you to view spaces, containers, and clusters and configure them, using the Space Browser tab. You can also deploy and manage services using the Deployments tab.
To start the GigaSpaces Management Center, run:
<GigaSpaces Root>\bin\gs-ui.bat/sh
The GigaSpaces Management Center is separated into 3 tabs (Space Browser, Deployment, Details, Utilization):
Each GigaSpaces Management Center tab is described in a dedicated documentation tab below:
This section has undergone many changes in the latest releases of GigaSpaces and might not be accurate. It will be fully updated soon.
Overview
The Space Browser tab allows you to view and configure two main components in GigaSpaces – space and cluster.
The main Spaces node () displays the Space Network view – a table listing all spaces in the network, and different details regarding those spaces.
The Spaces node includes:
Space container nodes () that hold spaces (). Container nodes allow you to manage space containers – shutting down the container, creating a space under it, and more.
Space nodes () allow you to manage spaces – starting or stopping, destroying, cleaning the space, and more. Each space node includes different views under it, that allow you to manage it further.
See screenshot...
The main Clusters node () includes:
Cluster nodes () that allow you to manage the cluster – stop, start, restart, clean the cluster, and more.
Cluster group nodes () hold the cluster members (). Clicking a cluster member displays a graphic representation of the cluster, and tables showing details regarding replication, failover, load-balancing, and classes.
See screenshot...
Object Inspector — Using the selected object's UID, the Object Inspector takes the object itself from the space and displays its class fields, allowing you to drill down into object arrays.
Query View - GigaSpaces Browser — Used to query the space using SQL statements and view the resulting data set in tabular format.
Transactions View - GigaSpaces Browser — The Transactions view allows you to view all of the trasactions that are currently taking place in the selected space.
GigaSpaces Browser Menus and Buttons — Using the File menu, Container menu, Space menu, Cluster menu, Windows menu, Help menu, button toolbar, and address bar.
Managing Containers - GigaSpaces Browser — Using the Container Configuration tab of a container node in the Grid Tree, and tool buttons relevant for containers.
Pending Notify Templates Information — Information regarding pending notify templates is exposed in all management components – GigaSpaces Management Center, JMX, CLI.
Working with Clusters - GigaSpaces Browser — Creating a cluster, replication options, load-balancing options, failover options, verifying and editing cluster definitions, visualizing clusters.
