GT 4.1.3 WS MDS WebMDS: System Administrator's Guide

Introduction

WebMDS enables end users to view monitoring information via a standard web browser interface, without installing any additional software on their PC. WebMDS is implemented as a servlet that uses a plugin interface to gather monitoring information (or any other information in XML format) and XSLT transforms, and present the data to the user in a readable form. Web site administrators can customize their own WebMDS deployments by using HTML form options, configuring different plugins to collect data and XSLT transforms, and creating their own plugins and XSLT transforms.

This guide contains advanced configuration information for system administrators working with WS MDS WebMDS. It provides references to information on procedures typically performed by system administrators, including installation, configuring, deploying, and testing the installation.

WebMDS is built and installed as part of a default GT installation. Read Installing GT 4.1.3 for more information.
