Starting Monitor
Monitor runs as a web application in your Internet browser.
To start Monitor
1. Open a supported Internet browser and enter one of the URLs below according to the level of security you are using.
— Connecting to the Monitor Server using the standard URL:
http://<hostname>:<port>/monitor/
For example, to monitor the local TDV instance, you might enter:
http://localhost:9400/monitor/
— Connecting to the Monitor Server using a secure SSL connection:
https://<hostname>:<https-port>/monitor/
The https-port number is 2 greater than the default TDV port. For example, if your TDV HTTP port is 9400, https-port is 9402.
Optionally, if you are monitoring the TDV instance that is hosting Monitor, you can start Monitor by choosing Launch Monitor (Web) from Studio’s Administration menu.
Monitor opens in your browser and presents a login dialog.
2. Enter a valid TDV domain. The default is composite.
3. Enter a valid user name and password.
The user must have these rights to log in: Access Tools, and Read All Status.
4. Optionally, if present, check the boxes to save this user name and password.
Note: See
Configuring the Monitor Client if you would like to be able to store the user name and/or password for future use and these check boxes are not available. The default is to allow up to seven user names to be saved, but passwords cannot be saved. You can delete the list of saved user names using the Clear User Cache button.
5. Click Login to log into Monitor.

Initially, if you are using the default configuration, Monitor displays the activity and health of the TDV instance that hosts it.
