*Managing <%=vars.product_name_long%>* describes how to plan and implement tasks associated with managing, monitoring, and troubleshooting <%=vars.product_name_long%>.

-   **[<%=vars.product_name_long%> Management and Monitoring](management/management_and_monitoring.html)**

    <%=vars.product_name_long%> provides APIs and tools for managing your cluster and monitoring the health of your cluster members.

-   **[Managing Heap and Off-heap Memory](heap_use/heap_management.html)**

    By default, <%=vars.product_name_long%> uses the JVM heap. <%=vars.product_name_long%> also offers an option to store data off heap. This section describes how to manage heap and off-heap memory to best support your application.

-   **[Disk Storage](disk_storage/chapter_overview.html)**

    With <%=vars.product_name_long%> disk stores, you can persist data to disk as a backup to your in-memory copy and overflow data to disk when memory use gets too high.

-   **[Cache and Region Snapshots](cache_snapshots/chapter_overview.html)**

    Snapshots allow you to save region data and reload it later. A typical use case is loading data from one environment into another, such as capturing data from a production system and moving it into a smaller QA or development system.

-   **[Region Compression](region_compression.html)**

    This section describes region compression, its benefits and usage.

-   **[Network Partitioning](network_partitioning/chapter_overview.html)**

    <%=vars.product_name_long%> architecture and management features help detect and resolve network partition problems.

-   **[Security](security/chapter_overview.html)**

    The security framework establishes trust by authenticating components 
    and members upon connection. It facilitates the authorization of operations.

-   **[Performance Tuning and Configuration](monitor_tune/chapter_overview.html)**

    A collection of tools and controls allow you to monitor and adjust <%=vars.product_name_long%> performance.

-   **[Logging](logging/logging.html)**

    Comprehensive logging messages help you confirm system configuration and debug problems in configuration and code.

-   **[Statistics](statistics/chapter_overview.html)**

    Every application and server in a cluster can access statistical data about <%=vars.product_name_long%> operations. You can configure the gathering of statistics by using the `alter runtime` command of `gfsh` or in the `gemfire.properties` file to facilitate system analysis and troubleshooting.

-   **[Troubleshooting and System Recovery](troubleshooting/chapter_overview.html)**

    This section provides strategies for handling common errors and failure situations.
