Accessing the Storm Web UI

Scenario

The Storm web UI provides a graphical interface for using Storm. Only streaming clusters with Kerberos authentication enabled support this function.

The following information can be queried on the Storm web UI:
  • Storm cluster summary
  • Nimbus summary
  • Topology summary
  • Supervisor summary
  • Nimbus configurations

Prerequisites

  • The password of user admin has been obtained. The password of user admin is specified by you during the cluster creation.
  • If a user other than admin is used to access the Storm web UI, the user must be added to the storm or stormadmin user group.

Procedure

  1. Access the component management page.

    • For versions earlier than MRS 3.x, click the cluster name to go to the cluster details page and choose Components.

      If the Components tab is not displayed on the cluster page, synchronize IAM users. (In the Dashboard area of the cluster details page, click Click to synchronize on the right of IAM User Sync to synchronize IAM users.)

    • For MRS 3.x or later, log in to FusionInsight Manager. For details, see Accessing FusionInsight Manager (MRS 3.x or Later). Choose Cluster > Name of the desired cluster > Services.

  2. Log in to the Storm WebUI.

    • For versions earlier than MRS 3.x: Choose Storm. On the Storm WebUI page, click any UI link to open the Storm WebUI.

      When accessing the Storm web UI for the first time, you must add the address to the trusted site list.

    • For MRS 3.x or later, choose Storm > Overview. On the Storm WebUI in the Basic Information area, click any UI link to open the Storm WebUI.

You need to set the waiting time for the redeployment and deletion operations. The unit is second.
