-Geode Pulse is a Web Application that provides a graphical dashboard for monitoring vital, real-time health and performance of Geode clusters, members, and regions.
-
-Use Pulse to examine total memory, CPU, and disk space used by members, uptime statistics, client connections, WAN connections, and critical notifications. Pulse communicates with a Geode JMX manager to provide a complete view of your Geode deployment. You can drill down from a high-level cluster view to examine individual members and even regions within a member, to filter the type of information and level of detail.
-
-By default, Geode Pulse runs in an embedded container within a Geode JMX manager node. You can optionally deploy Pulse to a Web application server of your choice, so that the tool runs independently of your Geode clusters. Hosting Pulse on an application server also enables you to use SSL for accessing the application.

+
+Pulse requires all users to authenticate themselves before they can use the Pulse Web application.
+
+If you run Pulse in embedded mode, the Pulse application runs on the JMX Manager node and no JMX authentication is required. You do not need to specify valid JMX credentials to start an embedded Pulse application.
+
+If you host Pulse on a Web Application server (non-embedded mode) and you configure JMX authentication on the Geode manager node, then the Pulse Web application must authenticate itself with the manager node when it starts. Specify the credentials of a valid JMX user account in the `pulse.properties` file, as described in [Hosting Pulse on a Web Application Server](pulse-hosted.html).
+
+**Note:**
+The credentials that you specify must have both read and write privileges in the JMX Manager node. See [Configuring a JMX Manager](../../managing/management/jmx_manager_operations.html#topic_263072624B8D4CDBAD18B82E07AA44B6).
+
+# Configuring Pulse to Use HTTPS
+
+You can configure Pulse to use HTTPS in either embedded or non-embedded mode.
+
+In non-embedded mode where you are running Pulse on a standalone Web application server, you must use the Web server's SSL configuration to make the HTTP requests secure.
+
+In embedded mode, Geode uses an embedded Jetty server to host the
+Pulse Web application. To make the embedded server use HTTPS, you must
+enable the `http` SSL component in
+`gemfire.properties` or `gfsecurity-properties`.
+See [SSL](../../managing/security/ssl_overview.html) for details on configuring these parameters.
+
+These SSL parameters apply to all HTTP services hosted on the JMX Manager, which includes the following:
+
+- Developer REST API service
+- Management REST API service (for remote cluster management)
+- Pulse monitoring tool
+
+When the `http` SSL component is enabled, all HTTP services become
+SSL-enabled and you must configure your client applications
+accordingly. For SSL-enabled Pulse, you will need to configure your
+browsers with proper certificates.
+
+If a JMX manager or locator is configured to use SSL, you can configure Pulse to connect to these
+processes. Create a file named `pulsesecurity.properties` and save it somewhere in the classpath of
+your Web application server. Include standard Java SSL properties, such as:
+
+```
+javax.net.ssl.keyStore={KeyStorePath}
+javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword={KeyStorePassword}
+javax.net.ssl.trustStore={TrustStorePath}
+javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword={TrustStorePassword}

+
+Use Pulse in embedded mode to monitor a Geode deployment directly from a Geode JMX Manager. By
+default, the embedded Pulse application connects to the local JMX Manager that hosts the Pulse
+application. Optionally, configure Pulse to connect to a Geode system of your choice.
+
+To run Pulse in embedded mode:
+
+1. Configure a Geode member to run as a JMX Manager node, specifying the HTTP port on which you
+will access the Pulse Web application (port 7070 by default). For example, the following command
+starts a Geode locator as a JMX Manager node, using the default HTTP port 7070 for the Pulse
+application:
+
+ ``` pre
+ gfsh
+ gfsh> start locator --name=loc1
+ ```
+
+ **Note:**
+ Geode locators become JMX Manager nodes by default. To start a non-locator member as a JMX
+ Manager node, include the `--J=-Dgemfire.jmx-manager=true` option. To specify a non-default port
+ number for the HTTP service that hosts the Pulse application, include the
+ `--J=-Dgemfire.http-service-port=port_number` option when starting the JMX Manager node.
+
+ When the JMX Manager node boots, it starts an embedded Jetty instance and deploys the Pulse Web
+ application at the specified or default HTTP port or 7070 by default.
+
+ `gfsh` automatically connects to the manager when you start it in this way. If you already
+ started a manager process earlier, use the `connect` command in `gfsh` to connect to that
+ process.
+
+2. Access the embedded Pulse application from a Web browser. If you are connected to the Geode
+cluster using gfsh, use the `start pulse` command to load the correct URL in your browser:
+
+ ``` pre
+ gfsh> start pulse
+ ```
+
+ Or, enter the URL http://*address*:*http-service-port*/pulse directly in your Web browser,
+ substituting the address and HTTP port of the manager. For example, you access Pulse on the
+ local locator machine from Step 1 at the URL http://localhost:7070/pulse.
+
+3. If you have configured authentication for the Pulse application, enter the username and password
+of a valid Pulse account in the login screen. Otherwise, enter the default "admin" in both
+fields. Click **Sign In** to continue.
+
+ See [Configuring Pulse Authentication](pulse-auth.html).
+
+4. After you log in, Pulse displays the main cluster view for the local distributed system. See
+[Using Pulse Views](pulse-views.html).
+
+**Note:**
+When running in embedded mode, the Pulse application connects only to the JMX Manager running in the
+locator or member that hosts Pulse. This enables you to monitor all members of that distributed
+system. You can also view (but not monitor) connected WAN clusters, and can view gateway senders and
+receivers that are configured in the local cluster.

+
+Host Pulse on a dedicated Web application server to make the Pulse application available at a consistent address, or to use SSL for accessing the Pulse application. When you host Pulse in this way, you also configure Pulse to connect to a specific locator or JMX Manager node for monitoring.
+
+To host Pulse on a Web application server:
+
+1. Set the `http-service-port` property to zero (`-Dgemfire.http-service-port=0`) when you start your Geode JMX Manager nodes. Setting this property to zero disables the embedded Web server for hosting the Pulse application.
+2. Create a `pulse.properties` file somewhere in the classpath of your Web application server. For example, if you are hosting Pulse on Tomcat, create the `pulse.properties` file in the `$TOMCAT_SERVER/lib` directory.
+
+3. Define the following configuration properties in the `pulse.properties` file:
+
+ <table>
+ <colgroup>
+ <col width="50%" />
+ <col width="50%" />
+ </colgroup>
+ <thead>
+ <tr class="header">
+ <th>Property</th>
+ <th>Description</th>
+ </tr>
+ </thead>
+ <tbody>
+ <tr class="odd">
+ <td><code class="ph codeph">pulse.useLocator</code></td>
+ <td>Specify "true" to configure Pulse to connect to a Geode Locator member, or "false" to connect directly to a JMX Manager.
+ <p>When Pulse connects to a Geode locator, the locator provides the address and port of an available JMX Manager to use for monitoring the distributed system. In most production deployments, you should connect Pulse to a locator instance; this allows Pulse to provide monitoring services using any available JMX Manager.</p>
+ <p>If you specify "false," Pulse connects directly to a specific JMX Manager. If this manager is not available, the Pulse connection fails, even if another JMX Manager is available in the distributed system.</p></td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr class="even">
+ <td><code class="ph codeph">pulse.host</code></td>
+ <td>Specify the DNS name or IP address of the Geode locator or JMX Manager machine to which Pulse should connect. You specify either a locator or JMX Manager address depending on how you configured the <code class="ph codeph">pulse.useLocator</code> property.</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr class="odd">
+ <td><code class="ph codeph">pulse.port</code></td>
+ <td>Specify the port number of the Geode locator or the HTTP port number of the JMX Manager to which Pulse should connect. You specify either a locator or JMX Manager port depending on how you configured the <code class="ph codeph">pulse.useLocator</code> property.
+ <p>If you configured <code class="ph codeph">pulse.useLocator=false</code>, then <code class="ph codeph">pulse.port</code> must correspond to the <code class="ph codeph">http-service-port</code> setting of the JMX Manager.</p></td>
+ </tr>
+ </tbody>
+ </table>
+
+ For example, with this configuration Pulse connects to the locator at mylocator\[10334\] and accesses any available JMX Manager:
+
+ ``` pre
+ pulse.useLocator=true
+ pulse.host=locsrv.gemstone.com
+ pulse.port=10334
+ ```
+
+ With this configuration Pulse accesses only the JMX Manager instance at manager1\[8080\]:
+
+ ``` pre
+ pulse.useLocator=false
+ pulse.host=jmxsrv.gemstone.com
+ pulse.port=8080
+ ```
+
+4. (Optional.) Configure authentication for the Pulse Web application using the instructions in [Configuring Pulse Authentication](pulse-auth.html).
+
+5. Deploy the Pulse Web application to your application server. Geode installs the `pulse.war` file in the `tools/Pulse` subdirectory of your Geode installation directory. Depending on your application server, you may need to copy the `pulse.war` file to a deployment directory or use a configuration tool to deploy the file.
+6. Access the Pulse application using the address, port, and application URL that you configure in your Web application server. For example, with Tomcat the default URL is http://*address*:8080/pulse. Your application server provides options for configuring the address, port, and application name; substitute the correct items to access the deployed Pulse application.
+
+ Pulse connects to the locator or JMX Manager that you configured in the `pulse.properties` file, authenticating using the credentials that you configured in the file.
+
+7. If you have configured authentication for the Pulse application, enter the username and password of a valid Pulse account in the login screen. Otherwise, enter the default "admin" in both fields. Click **Sign In** to continue.
+
+ See [Configuring Pulse Authentication](pulse-auth.html).
+
+8. After you log in, Pulse displays the main cluster view for the distributed system to which it has connected. See [Using Pulse Views](pulse-views.html).

+
+Geode Pulse is a Web Application that provides a graphical dashboard for monitoring vital, real-time health and performance of Geode clusters, members, and regions.
+
+Use Pulse to examine total memory, CPU, and disk space used by members, uptime statistics, client connections, WAN connections, and critical notifications. Pulse communicates with a Geode JMX manager to provide a complete view of your Geode deployment. You can drill down from a high-level cluster view to examine individual members and even regions within a member, to filter the type of information and level of detail.
+
+By default, Geode Pulse runs in an embedded container within a Geode JMX manager node. You can optionally deploy Pulse to a Web application server of your choice, so that the tool runs independently of your Geode clusters. Hosting Pulse on an application server also enables you to use SSL for accessing the application.
+
+- **[Pulse System Requirements](pulse-requirements.html)**
+
+ Verify that your system meets the installation and runtime requirements for GemFire Pulse.
+
+
+- **[Running Pulse in Embedded Mode (Quick Start)](pulse-embedded.html)**
+
+ Use Pulse in embedded mode to monitor a Geode deployment directly from a Geode JMX Manager. By default, the embedded Pulse application connects to the local JMX Manager that hosts the Pulse application. Optionally, configure Pulse to connect to a Geode system of your choice.
+
+- **[Hosting Pulse on a Web Application Server](pulse-hosted.html)**
+
+ Host Pulse on a dedicated Web application server to make the Pulse application available at a consistent address, or to use SSL for accessing the Pulse application. When you host Pulse in this way, you also configure Pulse to connect to a specific locator or JMX Manager node for monitoring.
+
+- **[Configuring Pulse Authentication](pulse-auth.html)**
+
+ Pulse requires all users to authenticate themselves before they can use the Pulse Web application. If you have configured JMX authentication on the Geode JMX Manager node, the Pulse Web application itself may also need to authenticate itself to the Geode JMX Manager node on startup.
+
+- **[Using Pulse Views](pulse-views.html)**
+
+ Pulse provides a variety of different views to help you monitor Geode clusters, members, and regions.

+<img src="../../images/pulse_data_view.png" id="topic_F0ECE9E8179541CCA3D6C5F4FBA84404__image_A533852E38654E79BE5628E938E170EB" class="image imageleft" width="624" />
+
+Use these basic controls while in Region View:
+
+1. Click the display icons to display all members that host the region using block view or table view.
+
+ (Click the name of a member to change to that member's [Member View](#topic_F0ECE9E8179541CCA3D6C5F4FBA84404__section_3629814A3DF64D31A190495782DB0DBF).)
+
+2. Search for specific members that host the current region.
+3. Hover over a member name to display information such as the region entry count, entry size, and throughput on that member.
+4. Click [Cluster View](#topic_F0ECE9E8179541CCA3D6C5F4FBA84404__section_9794B5754E474E10ABFBCD8B1DA240F8) or [Data Browser](#topic_F0ECE9E8179541CCA3D6C5F4FBA84404__sec_pulsedatabrowser) to go to those screens.

+
+The Pulse Data Browser enables you to query region data. Note that there are two key attributes available on DistributedSystemMXBean (see [List of Geode JMX MBeans](../../managing/management/list_of_mbeans.html#topic_4BCF867697C3456D96066BAD7F39FC8B)) that you can use to configure limits for the result sets displayed in Data Browser:
+
+- `QueryResultSetLimit` limits the number of rows that Data Browser queries return. 1000 rows are displayed by default.
+- `QueryCollectionsDepth` limits the number of elements of a collection that Data Browser queries return. This attribute applies to query results contain collections such as Map, List, and so forth. The default value is 100 elements.
+
+See the `org.apache.geode.management.DistributedSystemMXBean` JavaDocs for information on available MBean methods and attributes.
+
+The following shows an example Data Browser view:
+
+<img src="../../images/pulse-data-browser.png" id="topic_F0ECE9E8179541CCA3D6C5F4FBA84404__image_hhp_dz2_44" class="image imageleft" width="624" />
+
+Use these basic controls while in Data Browser view:
+
+1. Search for the name of a specific region.
+2. Select one or more regions to display the Geode members that host those regions. The hosting Geode members appear in the Region Members section.
+3. Select one or more members from the Region Members section to restrict query results to those members.
+4. Type in the text of a query to execute. See [Querying](../../developing/querying_basics/chapter_overview.html).
+5. Display a list of previously-executed queries. Double-click on a query from the history list to copy it to the Query Editor, or delete the query from your history.
+6. Execute your query or clear the contents of the Query Editor.
+7. View the current query results.
+8. Export the query results to a text file.
+9. Return to [Cluster View](#topic_F0ECE9E8179541CCA3D6C5F4FBA84404__section_9794B5754E474E10ABFBCD8B1DA240F8).

+# <a id="topic_F0ECE9E8179541CCA3D6C5F4FBA84404__section_bfk_sc3_wn" class="no-quick-link"></a>Alerts Widget
+
+The Alerts Widget appears in the right portion of the screen and displays a list of alerts.
+
+The alerts displayed for the cluster appear based on the alertLevel field set in the DistributedSystemMXBean. By default, log messages with the level of SEVERE are shown as alerts. You can modify the level by using the `DistributedMXBean.changeAlertLevel` method. See [System Alert Notifications](../../managing/management/notification_federation_and_alerts.html#topic_212EE5A2ABAB4E8E8EF71807C9ECEF1A__section_7463D13112D54406953416356835E290) for more information.

+
+Use these basic controls in the Alerts Widget:
+
+1. Select an alert level to view only alerts with a specific severity.
+2. Enter text in the search box to filter the list of alerts.
+3. Select an alert and click Clear to remove it from the alert list.
+4. Click **Clear All** to remove all alerts from the widget.
+5. Double-click an alert to open a pop-up window that displays the full text of the alert message.
+6. Click the check mark in an alert pop-up window to acknowledge the alert. Acknowledged alerts display a check mark in the list of alerts.
+7. Triple-click the alert in the pop-up or in the alert list to select the message text. You can then copy and paste the text into another application.
+8. Click the **X** to close the pop-up alert window.
