Installation
Install the node-monitoring plugin on all servers:
aptitude install bm-plugin-node-monitoring
Then the following two plugins on the main server:
aptitude install bm-plugin-core-monitoring bm-plugin-admin-console-monitoring
The first enables you to communicate with previously installed nodes and the second provides the admin console's graphical interface.
Finally, restart BlueMind:
bmctl restart
Using the Monitoring Console
Once installed, a new section named "Monitoring console" appears in the admin console:
Access to the monitoring console
Access to the monitoring console is subject to the assignation of a role. Administrators with access to the admin console will see the new section, but it remains grayed out until they are assigned the proper role.
To enable access to this section, the user/administrator must be granted the new role now available in the user's directory entry form ("General" tab):
To find out more about user roles, go to the page Gestion des entités > Users
Clicking the link opens the monitoring scripts and shows the status of the server and services:
- The "General information" section shows general BlueMind information: number of users and groups, subscription information, installed version
- the top right corner shows the system information for the main server BlueMind is installed on
- the main section shows the status of services.
- The buttons allow you to filter the processes according to their status: the table will show the services whose status match the button(s) that are enabled.
- Clicking a column header sorts that column alphabetically.
Clicking a column that is already sorted reverses that column's sorting order.
