After installing System Console and one or more BIRT iHub modules, 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, double-click the System Console icon on a Windows desktop or open a browser manually and enter the following URL:
http://localhost:8500/sysconsole
To provide access to System Console from another system, use the Windows Firewall advanced settings to open the port 8500 to TCP inbound traffic.
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.
