Optional

Using SIGAR to Monitor Machine-Level Statistics of GigaSpaces Clusters

GigaSpaces XAP comes with a comprehensive out-of-the-box support for monitoring the GigaSpaces cluster using the Management Center GUI.
The majority of the functionality is provided out of the box and does not require any 3rd party library.
However some machine-level statistics (CPU, disk and network utilization) are not available out of the box.
For that reason GigaSpaces XAP instegrates natively with the open source SIGAR library (System Information Gatherer and Reporter).
Due to licensing restrictions, GigaSpaces XAP does not ship with SIGAR out of the box.
To enable CPU, disk and network utilization monitoring using Sigar, you should follow the following steps:

  1. Download the SIGAR 1.6.2 distribution here.
  2. Unzip the downloaded file to a temporary location on your local disk.
  3. Copy all the files under the <SIGAR Root>/sigar-bin/lib/ directory to <GigaSpaces root>/Runtime/lib/platform/sigar.
