Admon Guide
The BeeGFS Administration and Monitoring System (short: Admon) provides a graphical interface to perform administrative management tasks and to monitor the state of the file system and its components.
| Important note regarding security and vulnerability: The http interface provided by the beegfs-admon service is not designed for usage in an unsecured setup! Therefore, you should expose the port configured in /etc/beegfs/beegfs-admon.conf only within highly trusted environments. Make sure, that your firewall rules prohibit any access to that host and port from outside. |
The BeeGFS Administration and Monitoring System consists of two parts:
- The Admon daemon, which can run on any machine with network access to the metadata and storage servers. This daemon gathers the status information of the other BeeGFS services and stores it in a database.
- The graphical Java-based client, which can run on your workstation. It connects to the remote Admon daemon via http.
| Note on Java: It is recommend to use Oracle Java Runtime Environment 7 (formerly known as Sun JRE 7) or higher to run the BeeGFS Admon GUI. Other Java runtime environments may work, but are not fully tested. |
