The following documents are available to describe the features of InterMapper DataCenter, and its components, the InterMapper Database, the Authentication Server, and the built-in Python interpreter.

Installing the InterMapper DataCenter

The InterMapper DataCenter (IMDC) is a stand-alone collection of services used alongside InterMapper. This note describes how to install the IMDC, which also automatically installs the InterMapper Database, the Authentication Server, and the Python interpreter.

The InterMapper Database

The InterMapper Database is a PostgreSQL database that is integrated into an InterMapper system. It automatically receives historical and static information from InterMapper, and saves it for analysis by other programs.

Using the IM Authentication Server

The InterMapper Authentication Server ("AuthServer") allows you to authenticate against a number of directory servers, including LDAP, Active Directory, Open Directory, Radius, IAS, and DND. This tech note explains how to configure and use the AuthServer.

Writing InterMapper Datacenter Plugins

InterMapper Datacenter incorporates a Python 2.4 interpreter that customers may use for writing plugins, such as command line probes and command line notifiers. This tech note describes how to write these plugins and call them.
