Intel NetStructure Cache Appliance Administrator’s Guide
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.

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.
