How the GemFire Management Console Determines Locator Status

Products

• VMware Tanzu Data Intelligence

Issue/Introduction

Locator will be in hung state, but in gemfire management console, able to see locator health status is up and running.

Environment

Tanzu GemFire
Tanzu GemFire Management Console

Cause

The GMC UI displays a 'Ready' status provided there are no alerts present in the output of the describe member --verbose command.

If the command returns any alerts within the member details, the UI replaces the 'Ready' status with Check Alerts.

It is important to note that the UI does not utilize a 'Healthy' status, it strictly reflects the real-time data received from the member description command.

Resolution

Since the GMC status is a reflection of the describe member command, you must use the GemFire Shell (gfsh) to see the raw alert text.

• Connect to the cluster via gfsh.

• Run the following command.

  describe member --name=value --verbose
