To open system administration, select Setup | System Administration from main menu. Click on the tabs to change the different settings.
System Administration Bar
You can define the following aspects of your PRTG system setup:
- System Administration—User Interface
- System Administration—Monitoring
- System Administration—Notification Delivery
- System Administration—Core & Probes
- System Administration—Cluster
- System Administration—User Accounts
- System Administration—User Groups
- System Administration—Administrative Tools
In the cluster settings you can define the cluster settings. During Failover Cluster Configuration, the cluster settings were already pre-defined. See the cluster status to see if all nodes in your cluster are properly connected.
Note: If you open this system administration page from another administration page and 15 minutes (900 seconds) have passed since your last credential based login, you have to provide your credentials again for security reasons. A dialog box will appear. Enter your Login Name and Password for PRTG in the corresponding fields and click on the Login button. You can continue with your task immediately.
Note: This documentation refers to the PRTG System Administrator user accessing the Ajax interface on a master node. For other user accounts, interfaces, or nodes, not all of the options might be available as described. When using a cluster installation, failover nodes are read-only by default.
You can set up two, three, four, or five nodes in one cluster. In the table of the cluster settings, the information of each node is written in one line.
Cluster Node Setup |
|
|---|---|
Node Name |
Enter the name of the node (for display purposes). |
Node ID |
The ID is unique for every node. We recommend using the default value. |
Node State |
You can set the state for every failover node. Choose between:
This setting is not available for the master node of a cluster. The master is always set to Active. |
IPs/DNS Names Used for Connections Between Nodes |
Define the IP addresses or DNS names that will be used for the connections between the nodes. You can enter different values for every node–node connection. For example, in the field #2 => #1, enter the address under which the master node server can be reached from the second cluster member. Usually, this is the IP address or DNS name of the master node. Do this for all available node connections, for example, if you run three nodes, enter the address under which second node can be reached from the third cluster member into the field #3 => #2. Please see also section Failover Cluster Step by Step, Step 4 and following. |
Click on the Save button to store your settings. If you change tabs or use the main menu, all changes to the settings will be lost!
For how to set a cluster node into Maintenance Mode, please see PRTG Status—Cluster Status.
The entire setup process for a cluster requires several different steps. For more information and step-by-step guidance, please see Failover Cluster Configuration section.
