Configuration Manager for configuring the Grid

The Configuration Manager provides access to a variety of aspects of the grid whose configuration you may want to change, such as making changes to affect performance, adding hosts, deploying applications, configuring bindings, and setting up user roles and mappings. You can also use the Configuration Manager to view many types of information about the grid, including audit logs, configuration files, configuration history, defined ports, and certificates.

When switching to a page belonging to the Configuration Manager two extra icons are displayed, one for reloading the configuration from the database and one for saving the changes to the database.

For a detailed description of the tasks that can be performed through the Configuration Manager, see Grid Configuration Manager.

Offline Configuration Manager

The Offline Configuration Manager is a restricted functionality version of the Configuration Manager that is available through the Grid Management Pages. It enables you to troubleshoot or resolve errors when you cannot do those things through the normal administrative user interfaces.

Some examples of where this might be required are as follows:

  • The grid will not start because all hosts have been de-activated.

  • You are unable to log in to the grid as grid-admin due to a breakdown in the security process (for example, all administrators have been accidentally removed).

To access the Offline Configuration Manager, see Accessing the offline-version of the Configuration Manager.
