Monitor Concepts and Modes of Operation
This section describes concepts that are important to understand when using Monitor.
What Is a TDV Client?
A TDV client is an aggregate of TDV sessions that share host, client type, user name, and domain name. This allows similar sessions from TDV nodes in a cluster or connectionless sessions, such as those created by Web services, to appear as one logical TDV client for monitoring purposes.
What Is a Monitor Client?
A Monitor Client is the Monitor user interface running a browser and connected to a Monitor Server.
What Is the Monitor Server?
The Monitor Server is a server installed and running with a TDV instance.
What Modes of Operation Does Monitor Support?
• Single TDV—Monitor Server listens to a remote TDV Collector in a separate TDV instance.
• TDV Cluster—Monitor Server listens to a remote set of TDV Collectors in separate TDV instances, which are all part of a cluster.
The TDV host of Monitor cannot be a member of a cluster it is monitoring.
