Monitor Cluster Web

  • NCache Monitor will be opened in a new tab. By default, it has three dashboards opened.
Important

All the default dashboards are non-editable. It means no counter or graph can be added or removed from default dashboards.

Server Dashboard

It contains Cluster Health, Event Logs along with some mostly required cache counter graphs like, CPU Usage, Network Usage, Cache Size, Request/sec Graph and Memory Usage etc. Server Dashboard is generally a graphical view dashboard.

Client Dashboard

This built-in dashboard displays different client side counters. Few of the counters display the NCache client system resource usage info like NCache Client CPU, NCache Client Memory, NCache Client Network. This dashboard also shows the NCache client specific information, e.g., NCache Client Request Queue, NCache Client Read Operations/sec, NCache Client Write Operations.

Report Dashboard

This view shows counters in numeric form rather than graphs. It contains two portions, each for Server Report View and Client Report View. Both portions contain respective counters.
