After installing System Console and one or more BIRT iHub module, use System Console to create a cluster containing a single node. The cluster enables the system administrator to license the modules and monitor the iHub usage. For information about configuring BIRT iHub applications and databases, see BIRT iHub System Administration Guide.
Accessing System Console
To open System Console, open a browser manually and enter the following URL:
http://localhost:8500/sysconsole
To access System Console from another system, open a browser manually and enter a URL similar to the following one, where servername is the name of the machine where you installed System Console:
http://servername:8500/sysconsole
Log in to System Console using the following default system administrator credentials:
Username: sysadmin
Password: system11
You can change the default system administrator login name and password in System Console—Settings—System Admin Users. System Console initially displays the 7-day monitoring overview, as shown in Figure 3‑1.
The login password for the postgres user in the default PostgreSQL RDBMS is postgres.
