This chapter describes the configuration of both the collector and the graphical user interface (GridMonitor GUI).

Default configuration

Installing both packages of the GridMonitor renders a default configuration for a cluster called Cluster1. The collector and web server are expected to run on the same host, therefore the PHP scripts use localhost to access the collector.

Currently, there is no way to automatically configure the known nodes within the collector, this has to be done manually. See next section for details.
