Viewing Nodes in the Fabric

The Fabric Monitoring inventory page allows the administrator to monitor each node in the Junos Space fabric. You can also monitor the status of the database, load balancer, and application logic functions running on each node, identify nodes that are overloaded or down, and view when the node was rebooted. The Fabric inventory page refreshes every 10 seconds, by default.

Changing Views

You can display fabric monitoring in tabular view. The fabric nodes appear in a table sorted by node name. Each fabric is a row in the Fabric Monitoring table.

To change views:

  1. Select Administration > Fabric. The Fabric page appears.
  2. Click a view indicator at the left of the title bar of the Fabric page.

Viewing Fabric Node Details

To view detailed runtime and status information for a node:

  1. On the Junos Space Network Management Platform user interface, select Administration > Fabric.

    The Fabric page that appears displays all the nodes in the Junos Space Platform fabric.

  2. Right-click a node and select View Fabric Node Details or double-click inside a row corresponding to a node.

    The View Node Detail pop-up window that appears displays three tabs: Node Detail, Reboot Detail, and Process Detail.

  3. To view the node details, click the Node Detail tab.

    Table 1 describes the details of the node.

    The process is in standby mode and could potentially transition to the UP state on failover.

    N/A

    The process is never expected to be active on the node.
    Note:

    If the MySQL database replication between nodes is broken, the MySQL process displays the status OUT OF SYNC. If the secondary database is in the process of receiving data and the primary database is still executing transactions then the status is Syncing. If the MySQL transactions are up-to-date between nodes, the MySQL process displays the status UP.
