Management Console
This section contains information on updates to the Management Console for Vertica Analytic Database 8.1.x.
Catalog Memory Activity Page
The new Catalog Memory activity page displays the catalog memory for each node in your database. Use this page to check for sudden changes in catalog memory, or discrepancies in memory distribution across your nodes.
For more about monitoring catalog memory in MC, see Monitoring Catalog Memory.
Configure JVM Settings in MC
Management Console (MC) introduces the ability to configure application server JVM settings on the MC Settings page.
Enabling Extended Monitoring in MC allows you to view more historical monitoring data. For MC to handle larger amounts of monitoring data, Open Text Corporation recommends increasing JVM initial heap size and maximum heap size. You can now do so on the Configuration tab in MC settings.
Configure WLA Settings in MC
If queries perform sub-optimally, you can get tuning recommendations for them, as well as for hints about optimizing database objects, by using the Workload Analyzer (WLA).
To optimize when WLA uses resources, you can now set WLA to run at a different time for any or all databases that MC monitors. You can also set MC to never run WLA automatically. This setting is available on the Monitoring tab on the MC Settings page.
New Create Cluster Wizard
Vertica 8.1 improves the look and feel of the Create Cluster wizard in MC.
