DataStax OpsCenter
DataStax ( http://www.datastax.com ) is the leading company that provides commercial sup-
port for Cassandra. At the time of writing, DataStax claimed to employ more than 90 per-
cent of Cassandra committers. DataStax provides an easy-to-use, web-based util-
ity—OpsCenter—that is a little more than a GUI wrapper over Cassandra's JMX instru-
mentation. OpsCenter provides a clean, simple, and intuitive interface to manage and mon-
itor a Cassandra cluster. This section will briefly go over OpsCenter. The following screen-
shot shows DataStax OpsCenter's cluster view and actionable items:
DataStax provides two versions of OpsCenter: an enterprise version and a community ver-
sion. The enterprise version has more features and official support, and it is paid for. The
community version can be downloaded and used for free in a production environment. You
may download and evaluate the enterprise version for free for development purposes. In
this section, we will briefly go over installing, configuring, monitoring, and administrating
a single data center, three-node cluster using OpsCenter's community version.
