The management console is a powerful tool for managing application servers around the globe, both as individual servers and as farms of servers.
Each server can be probed in detail, configurations can be made temporarely on the fly or permanently by storing the configuration both in the servers own local configuration repository, and on a central repository server.
In fact an application server can fetch its configuration from multiple repository servers which all can be managed.
The following shows the management console before a repository has been chosen.
Selection of repository server and optional definition of repository servers:
After selecting a server, the known configuration objects for that server is accessible and editable. The server is automatically probed when needed to obtain up to date information, including for example statistics etc. held within the application server.
Any server that fetch its configuration from the selected repository is automatically registered in the repository and is default available thru the management console.
Custom configuration objects with editors can be registered with the management console to allow for custom operations.
All servers and farms can be accessed via scripts that even can include custom forms to easily extend the functionality of the management console.
There are extensive support for accessing configuration objects using scripts.
