Configuration Console

The Configuration Console is a graphical user interface that you use to configure the system and monitor the product.

The Configuration Console is hosted by an embedded version of IBM WebSphere Application Server.

Managing system configuration

You use the Configuration Console to configure most of the system parameters and options, which the Configuration Console then writes to the configuration database. Some of the parameters or options are managed in a text file. Configuration changes that are managed through the Configuration Console but are made directly to the configuration database are not supported; these changes most likely result in the product not working correctly.

The Configuration Console helps you to manage these system configurations:

Monitoring pipelines and nodes

You can also use the Configuration Console to monitor the status and statistics of pipelines. Monitoring is performed by the application monitor, which is run by the Configuration Console. The Configuration Console receives status and statistics from SNMP agents running on the pipeline nodes and then publishes the information on the Pipeline Status tab.

The Configuration Console also displays other useful pipeline and node statistic information, such as errors and log files. You can also generate statistical reports.

You can also configure routing rules, another feature of the application monitor, to route processing results, such as alerts or resolutions, to other databases or even to other systems.
