Creating Servers¶
A server contains the required information to connect to a Virtual DataPort server through JMX. It is represented in the tree area with the icon.
There are two ways to create a server:
In the Options menu, click New Server.
Or in the tree area, right-click on or on an environment and click New Server….
The Diagnostic & Monitoring Tool will open the dialog below. Fill the form and click Create.
The Diagnostic & Monitoring Tool will use the credentials and the database you enter to create the JMX connection
to Virtual DataPort. If the database is not set, admin
will be used by default. This user
account needs to meet these conditions:
Be an administrator user.
Or have the
monitor_admin
role.
Note
If the Virtual DataPort server has configured the LDAP authentication for a specific database, you have to set the Database field to connect to that server using a LDAP user.
Note
If you want to connect to the server using Kerberos authentication, you still need to provide valid values for the user and password fields. Although you have logged in the Diagnostic & Monitoring Tool using Single Sign-On, your credentials are not reused when monitoring a server.
