Monitoring the State of the Grid from a Web Browser

Use this procedure to view information on the state of the grid by accessing HTML pages through a web browser.

You access the HTML pages via any of the HTTP(S) ports that are defined for the grid routers. For information about how to identify the HTTP and HTTPS ports, see Listing All Ports Exposed by Routers in a Grid.

The general theme of all of these pages is that when the status is good only limited and basic information is displayed. However, if problems are found, more information will be displayed with strong yellow or red warning color schemes for problem areas.

Note that the same information that is used to render the HTML pages is also available in XML format. The XML format is suitable in situations where you programmatically want to monitor the state of the grid.
