Another extremely useful tool that is provided with ZENworks for Server Web-based management is the Remote Web Console Tool. The Remote Web Console tool enables you to monitor and maintain the distribution agent, subscriber agent, and policy/package agent from a Web browser. This enables you to view configurations, distributions, schedules, events, and so forth about the agents from one easy-to-access location. You access the Remote Web Console in the Web-based management tool in one of two ways. The first is to click on the Remote Web Console option under the ZFS Management section from the main page. The second is to select a TED object and click the Remote Web Console button that is shown in some of the other Web-based management tool pages. When you click on Remote Web Console option under ZFS Management, you are prompted to enter the name of the object or use the object selector to specify the TED or Policy/Package agent you want to monitor. The following sections discuss using the ZENworks for Servers 3 Remote Web Console tool to monitor Policy/Package Agents and TED Agents.
