Minimum Java Version for Viewer - 1.5

How to start the Viewer
-------------------------


java -jar adlite-viewer.jar

starts viewer on port 8990.

To start it on a different port, use the -Dadlite.port option.

Other options(all of these are optional) to start viewer

1) Authentication

-Dadlite.user
-Dadlite.password

These two options make the login to the viewer secure, if these are not specified the default credentials are admin/admin.


2) Data Directory

-Ddata.dir

This is the data directory where the viewer stores performance data. This is cleaned up on every viewer restart.
By default the data directory in the directory where the viewer was extracted is used.

3) Temporary Directory

-Dadlite.directory

The viewer uses a temporary directory to host the web content that the UI uses. By default the system temp directory is used.
The version of the viewer is printed on stdout when it starts up.



How to access the Viewer
-------------------------

http://localhost:8990

if accessing from localhost and running with default port.

http://<viewer_host>:<viewer_port>

Login with admin/admin if you have not changed the default credentials.


Note: If you have an agent connected and reporting to the viewer, and the viewer is restarted, the agent needs to be restarted also.


How to shutdown the Viewer
---------------------------

Type 'shutdown' on the viewer commandline.
