Remote Administration and Monitoring

Scyld ClusterWare provides a variety of tools for remotely monitoring and administering clusters. These include traditional shell and X window based tools, along with web based tools. Some utilities are available for users to monitor the system, while others are for administrators to configure the cluster.

Command Line Tools

Scyld ClusterWare includes openssh by default. This tool allows you to securely log into your master node remotely and use the command line tools. These tools allow modification of all options on your cluster, but do not offer the easy user interface provided by the graphical configuration tools, such as BeoSetup. Another option for configuring the cluster is to hand edit the configuration files. For more information on the configuration files and command line utilities, see the Chapter called Configuring the Cluster Manually.
