This option lists the Host ID, Process ID, zones, and Processing UnitClosed This is the unit of packaging and deployment in the GigaSpaces Data Grid, and is essentially the main GigaSpaces service. The Processing Unit (PU) itself is typically deployed onto the Service Grid. When a Processing Unit is deployed, a Processing Unit instance is the actual runtime entity. instances for containers on a specific host.

Example Request:

curl -X GET --header 'Accept: application/json' 'http://localhost:8090/v2/hosts/admin/containers'

Example Response:

[

The Hosts view provides a general overview of the host machines, Processing Units, and Spaces, and relevant containers..

Container information is explained in the Viewing Container Information topic.

Item Description
Host
Name Name of the host machine.
CPU Indicator of how much CPU is being used, in %.
Memory Utiliz. (GB) Indicator of how much of the host memory is being used, in both GB and %.
Grid Services List of service grid components that are up and running (Grid Service Agent and containers).
Processing Units List of Processing Units that are deployed on the host (with the number of running instances).
