Roles

Nodewatch categorises users into User and Administrator roles. Administrators are responsible for managing the configuration that determines (amongst other things) which nodes/hosts will be monitored and the instrumentation counters/gauges deployed on each (node). They are also responsible for configuring which outbound publication mechanisms (known as sink interfaces) are available to which nodes. These wirings are activated when the application starts and can also be updated by an administrator whilst it is running.

Users are able to review some of the configuration and monitoring data, and are able to subscribe to sink interfaces. For more details about sink interfaces, please consult the documentation.
