Cloudera Navigator runs as two discrete roles—Navigator Audit Server and Navigator Metadata Server—in the context of Cloudera Manager Server. Features and configuration options available for these server-side processes are managed using the Cloudera Manager Admin Console. Management tasks include configuring filters to fine-tune audit event collection, tuning the Navigator Metadata Server for optimal performance, and configuring auditing for select services.

Management tasks also include implementing a backup system for Navigator metadata, and configuring security features, such as TLS/SSL to support HTTPS and client-server encrypted communications over the network.

Topics in this section apply to Navigator in general or to either Navigator Audit Server or Navigator Metadata Server specifically.
