Monitor and Manage with DBCC

DBCC is the web console for SynxDB clusters. It reports on the cluster and its databases through dashboards and metrics, and it also carries out day-to-day administration from the browser: renaming or retiring a cluster, editing database parameters and authentication rules, managing resource groups, and routing alerts to the right people. One console can watch several clusters, and you switch between them from the menu in the top-right corner.

Start with the architecture topic to understand how the console collects data, then install it. The remaining topics follow the console’s own navigation: what you can observe, what you can change, and how alerts reach the right people.
