Setting and viewing administrative metadata in Admin Center

You can use the Tags and Metadata dialog of the Explore tool to set and view administrative metadata for server, cluster, host, runtime, and application resources in a Liberty collective. Also, you can view administrative metadata for server, cluster, runtime, and application resources defined in an admin-metadata.xml file in the Explore tool. If a resource has administrative metadata defined in both the Tags and Metadata dialog and an admin-metadata.xml file, the Explore tool displays the resource metadata from both the dialog and the admin-metadata.xml file.

About this task

The following steps describe how to set or view resource metadata in the Explore tool:

The product stores changes that you save in the Tags and Metadata dialog directly to the collective repository, and not to an admin-metadata.xml file. Changes made to metadata settings in the admin-metadata.xml file are shown in the Tags and Metadata dialog and on the Explore tool resource page when the server to which the admin-metadata.xml file belongs is restarted. Metadata deleted using the Tags and Metadata dialog redisplays in the Explore tool after the server restarts if the deleted metadata is still defined in the admin-metadata.xml file.
