About Monitor Options
Monitor is configured to monitor a single remote TDV instance or a remote TDV cluster. Monitor must run in a different TDV instance than the TDV instance or cluster you are monitoring.
You must configure the following information in both the TDV hosting Monitor and the remote TDV to be monitored:
• Whether you want a secure connection between the Monitor Client and the Monitor Server.
• Whether you want to enable or disable the Data Collector and the Monitor Server.
The following table summarizes how to configure Monitor. The values in angle brackets (< >) are those that you must change. In some cases, like the TDV Password or other settings as noted, the changes are recommended but not required.
| Production Mode/Single TDV | Production Mode/TDV Cluster |
Configuration Parameter | Default | TDV Hosting Monitor Server | TDV Instance to Be Monitored | TDV Hosting Monitor Server | TDV Cluster to Be Monitored |
TDV Host | localhost | <host name> | N/A | <host name> | N/A |
TDV Port | 0 | <port number> | N/A | <port number> | N/A |
TDV Password | monitor | <new password> | N/A | <new password> | N/A |
Require SSL | False | True | True | True | True |
Enable Data Collection | True | False (see first bullet below) | True | False (see first bullet below) | True |
Enable Monitor Server | True | True | False | True | False (see second bullet below) |
• Data Collection can be left True if the hosting TDV is dedicated to the Monitoring function, because the performance impact of data collection should not normally affect the Monitor Server processing.
• By default, the Monitor Server is configured to monitor the TDV that contains it. Additionally it is automatically disabled if the Monitor Server is a member of the cluster being monitored. Therefore, you do not need to explicitly change the Enable Monitor Server setting to False for TDV clusters in Production Mode.
