CMW Homepage - Products - CMW Admin - Quick guide

This is a quick "HOW TO" guide focused on the Server Explorer module for persons who don't have time to read the full documentation. This guide is mainly here for operators and exploitations guys. Before starting, take a look at the Server Explorer general description.

To view CMW log files, do the followings steps regarding next picture :

1. Right click on the desired node to open the pop-up menu.
2. Left click on the "collect" menu item.

Then the servers state in the status monitor will be updated in real time. Because it can be a slow process, a progress bar is shown on the bottom-right corner of the frame.

NB: The "desired node" in step 1. is the node that contains the servers to watch. The "Collect" action acts recursivly, so it will go through all groups, sub groups and so on until the servers. If the root node (Servers Groups) is choosen, all servers state will be updated.

In the previous section you have learned how to have a general view of servers state. The next step is to get more informations on a given server. To do this, we use the "Server Admin".

A server can be watched:

• With the status monitor: By simply clicking on the corresponding monitor button.
• With the server tree (regarding next picture) :
  1. Right click on the desired server to open the pop-up menu.
  2. Left click on the "watch" menu item.
  

The picture bellow shows how server admin informations are presented.
