Tools and Modules

This topic provides links to documentation that describes and explains tools, modules, and extension associated with VMware Tanzu GemFire.

  gfsh (pronounced “jee-fish”) provides a single, powerful command-line interface from which you can launch, manage, and monitor Tanzu GemFire processes, data, and applications.

• Gemcached

  Gemcached is a Tanzu GemFire adapter that allows Memcached clients to communicate with a Tanzu GemFire server cluster, as if the servers were memcached servers. Memcached is an open-source caching solution that uses a distributed, in-memory hash map to store key-value pairs of string or object data.

• HTTP Session Management Modules

  The VMware Tanzu GemFire HTTP Session Management modules provide fast, scalable, and reliable session replication for HTTP servers without requiring application changes.

  Micrometer is a simple facade for application monitoring (as SLF4J, for example, is a simple facade for logging) which allows publishing metrics from Tanzu GemFire to various Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tools.

• Tanzu Observability (formerly known as VMware Aria Operations for Applications)

  The Tanzu Observability module provides out-of-the-box integration with Tanzu Observability.

• Pulse

  Pulse is a Web Application that provides a graphical dashboard for monitoring vital, real-time health and performance of Tanzu GemFire clusters, members, and regions.
