Chapter 8. Using the AMQ Interconnect web console to monitor the router network

Procedure

1. In OpenShift, switch to Networking Routes, and click the console Route.

   The web console opens in a new tab.

2. To connect to the web console, complete the following fields:

   Port

   Enter 443.

   User name

   Enter the user name.

   To find the user name and password for accessing the web console, navigate to Workloads Secrets. The Secret containing the web console credentials is called <application-name>-users (for example, router-mesh-users).

   The syntax for the user name is <user>@<domain> (the domain is the OpenShift application name, which is the name of the Custom Resource that describes the router deployment). For example, guest@router-mesh.

   Password

   Enter the password defined in the <application-name>-users Secret.

3. Click Connect.

   The Routers page is displayed showing all of the routers in the router network.
