vuSiteManager is a monitoring and management application that observes, manages, and orchestrates vuSmartMaps™. It is installed as part of the vuSmartMaps installation and has its own front-end UI and backend datastore. Depending upon the scale of the vuSmartMaps installation, it is either installed on a separate virtual machine (for larger setups) or the same virtual machine as vuSmartMaps.
vuSiteManger offers the functionalities, as outlined below:
The homepage of the vuSiteManager displays the various panels each providing an overview of the vuSmartMaps’ availability, health, and performance in the selected time range. On clicking on each of these panels, the user will be redirected to the dedicated storyboard to get a detailed view.
At the top right corner, we have the Time selector and profile option. With a Time Selector, you can select the time range for observing the status of vuSmartMaps.
On the left-hand side, you will see a list of tabs. By clicking on any of them separately, you will be navigated to a page based on your selection.
The menu list is as follows
The Home page provides an overview of the health and performance of various infrastructure components and services.
Let’s take a closer look at each panel and what it represents. The first panel on the homepage is Overall Health. The Overall Health panel is the graphical representation of the overall health of the vuSmartMaps cluster. When you click on this panel, you will be redirected to the Overall Health page.
The panel next to Overall Health is Availability, which showcases the graphical representation of the availability of the vuSmarMaps cluster URL. Clicking on this panel will redirect you to the Availability page.
Another set of panels includes Alerts, VM Hosts, and Services
.
Clicking on each of these panels redirects the user to the dedicated storyboard.
At the bottom, K8s (Kubernetes) Metrics give insight into K8s cluster components like K8s Pods, K8s Deployment, K8s DaemonSet, and K8s StatefulSet. On clicking this panel, you will be redirected to the dedicated page.
To explore a more detailed view of each of these parameters, please refer to the ‘Exploring vuSiteManager‘ page.
Use vuSiteManager’s Self-Observability feature to continuously monitor vuSmartMaps’ performance, system resources, and error logs. For detailed steps, refer to the Monitoring vuSmartMaps page.
vuSiteManager will generate an alert for any downtime. Check the Alerts section for detailed descriptions and take corrective actions based on the severity. More information can be found in the Alerts section.
Navigate to the Services section in vuSiteManager and click the “Logs” button for the desired service. For more information, refer to the Services section.
Use the K8s Metrics section to view detailed health and performance metrics for Pods, Deployments, DaemonSets, and StatefulSets. More details are available in the K8s Metrics section.
Use the search box and ‘Add Filter’ option above the VM Hosts table to input the hostname or IP address and apply additional filters. Detailed instructions are in the VM Hosts section.
The Active and Inactive Alerts panels provide detailed information on current and resolved alerts. For more in-depth analysis, visit the Alerts section.
