Using the AMPP Manager app

The Grass Valley Manager application allows users to visualize and control multiple GV AMPP Manager elements.

App overview

You can select a manager using the dropdown box in the top-right corner of the Statistics page.

Manager Selection

The sidebar on the left of the Grass Valley AMPP Manager app contains buttons that can be used to access different pages of the app:

Button Page description
Statistics Opens the Workloads Statistics page, which displays metrics related to workload states, application type, and their distribution across different fabrics. Additionally, the DataMiner Applications graphic shows how workloads are distributed across the different DataMiner Application elements.
Workloads Control Opens the Workloads Control page, which provides multi-criteria search and filtering, along with the ability to start or stop selected workloads.
Snapshots Control Opens the Snapshots Control page. Similar to Workloads Control, this displays a table of all discovered snapshots, allowing users to start or stop selected ones.
Configuration Opens the Setup page, where users can configure the external component and create a GV AMPP Manager element.
About Opens the About page, which shows the application version information.

Configuring workload application elements

On the Workloads Control page, the Workload Element column displays the currently assigned application element. An application element utilizes a specialized connector that processes the configuration and state messages specific to a particular application type. This connector also includes configuration parameters that allow changes of the workload.

Clicking the button in the Workload Element column, as shown above, opens a dialog where you can either assign the selected workload to an existing application element or create a new element and then assign the workload to it:

Create or add an application element

Once an application element has been assigned, you can click the icon in the AMPP Navigation column to open the application element using the Monitoring app:
