3.8.1 Managing Analytics Server

The Analytics Server page (on the Home page, click Analytics Servers) provides the following options:

  • Analytics-Cluster: To create a new cluster of Analytics Server. A cluster must be at least three Analytics Server machines. See Configuring Analytics Server.

  • Stop: To stop an Analytics Server. You must have physical access to the Analytics Server machine to start it again.

  • Restart: To reboot an Analytics Server machine. Analytics Server is stopped, the operating system reboots, then the machine is started.

  • Refresh: To update the list of Analytics Server machines and the status columns (Status, Health).

  • Actions > Delete: To remove the selected Analytics Server from the list of servers that can be managed from this Administration Console.

    IMPORTANT:When an Analytics Server is deleted from Administration Console, you can no longer manage it. To access it again or to access it from another Administration Console, you must manually import Analytics Server by running reimport_ar.sh in the /opt/novell/nam/scripts directory. See Section 3.8.5, Importing Analytics Server.

  • Status: To list the status of Analytics Server in Status and make changes as necessary.
