A node represents an IceGrid node process registered with the IceGrid registry.

On this page:

States

A node can be either up () or down (). A "down" node is shown only when it is described by an application deployed on this IceGrid registry.

Actions

A node provides the following actions, from its contextual menu and from the Tools > Node menu:

• Retrieve stdout
  Retrieve the stdout log file of the IceGrid node into a Log File Dialog. This retrieval succeeds only when the node stdout output has been redirected to a file using the Ice.StdOut property.
  
  
• Retrieve stderr
  Retrieve the stderr log file of the IceGrid node into a Log File Dialog. This retrieval succeeds only when the node stderr output has been redirected to a file using the Ice.StdErr property.
  
  
• Shutdown
  Shutdown the IceGrid node process.

Properties

The Node Properties panel shows:

• Hostname
  The name of the host on which the IceGrid node process is running.
  
  
• Operating System
  The operating system name and version of the host on which the IceGrid node process is running.
  
  
• Machine Type
  The type of CPUs and the number of CPU threads of the host on which the IceGrid node process is running. For example, a computer with a dual-core CPU and 2 "hyper threads" per core will show 4 CPU threads.
  
  
• CPU Usage (Windows) or Load Average (Linux/Unix)
  On Windows, shows the percentage of CPU utilization in the past 1, 5, and 15 minutes. On Linux/Unix, shows the load-average in the past 1, 5 and 15 minutes. These values are retrieved when the Node Properties panel is displayed. Click on the Refresh button to retrieve the latest values.
  
  
• Load Factor
  Shows the load factor defined by each application using this node.

Children

A registry node can only have two types of children:

• Regular Server
• IceBox Server
