Connecting to MC

To connect to Management Console:.

To connect to Management Console:

Open a supported web browser.
Enter the IP address or host name of the host on which you installed MC (or any cluster node if you installed Vertica first), followed by the MC port you assigned when you configured MC. For example:

Enter the IP address and port:
```
https://10.20.30.40:5450/
```
Enter the host name and port:
```
https://hostname:5450/
```
When the MC logon dialog appears, enter your MC username and password and click Log in.

Note
When MC users log in to the MC interface, MC checks their privileges on Vertica Data collector (DC) tables on MC-monitored databases. Based on DC table privileges, along with the role assigned the MC user, each user's access to the MC's Overview, Activity and Node details pages could be limited. See Users, roles, and privileges for more information.

If you do not have an MC username/password, contact your MC administrator.

Managing client connections

Each client session to MC uses a connection from MaxClientSessions, a database configuration parameter. This parameter determines the maximum number of sessions that can run on a single database cluster node. Sometimes multiple MC users, mapped to the same database account, are concurrently monitoring the Overview and Activity pages.

Tip

You can increase the value for MaxClientSessions on an MC-monitored database to account for extra sessions. See Managing sessions for details.
