| `gfsh` supports the administration, debugging, and deployment of <%=vars.product_name_long%> processes and applications. |
| |
| With `gfsh`, you can: |
| |
| - Start and stop <%=vars.product_name_long%> processes, such as locators and cache servers |
| - Start and stop gateway sender and gateway receiver processes |
| - Deploy applications |
| - Create and destroy regions |
| - Execute functions |
| - Manage disk stores |
| - Import and export data |
| - Monitor <%=vars.product_name_long%> processes |
| - Launch <%=vars.product_name_long%> monitoring tools |
| |
| The `gfsh` command line interface lets developers spend less time configuring cache instance XML, properties, logs, and statistics. gfsh commands generate reports; capture cluster-wide statistics; and support the export of statistics, logs, and configurations. Like Spring Roo, gfsh features command completion (so you do not have to know the syntax), context-sensitive help, scripting, and the ability to invoke any commands from within an application by using a simple API. The gfsh interface uses JMX/RMI to communicate with <%=vars.product_name_long%> processes. |
| |
| You can connect gfsh to a remote cluster using the HTTP protocol. See [Using gfsh to Manage a Remote Cluster Over HTTP or HTTPS](../../configuring/cluster_config/gfsh_remote.html). |
| |
| By default, the cluster configuration service saves the configuration of your <%=vars.product_name_long%> cluster as you create <%=vars.product_name_long%> objects using gfsh. You can export this configuration and import it into another <%=vars.product_name_long%> cluster. See [Overview of the Cluster Configuration Service](../../configuring/cluster_config/gfsh_persist.html#concept_r22_hyw_bl). |
