Terminals

Тarantool Cluster Manager (TCM) provides two ways to interact with Tarantool instances:

  • direct –- a terminal that connects directly to a Tarantool instance using the go-tarantool library, bypassing the tt connect utility
  • tt-connect –- a terminal that uses the tt-cli utility to connect to a Tarantool instance

Both terminals allow executing SQL queries, managing cluster state, viewing metrics, and more.

Terminal direct

Authentication credentials are taken from the cluster configuration:

credentials:  users:    tcm_tarantool:      password: tcm_tarantool_password      roles: [super]

Terminal tt-connect

Specify the path to the tt connect utility in the tcm.yaml configuration file:

mode: productioncluster:  tt-command: .tarantool/tt
