Introducing OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer : Configuring or monitoring resources on a remote AdminServer : Configuring and monitoring remote resources with OpenEdge Management
 

Configuring and monitoring remote resources with OpenEdge Management

With OpenEdge Explorer, you can configure resources running on a remote machine. With OpenEdge Management, you can configure and also monitor resources on a remote machine provided that:
*An AdminServer is available and running on the remote resource's host machine.
*You have disabled OpenEdge Management (and OpenEdge Explorer) on the remote resource's host machine. This is not a mandatory step, but we highly recommend that you have the Explorer disabled.
See Setting up for remote monitoring or configuration for details.
Remote configuration and monitoring provide numerous benefits, the greatest of which is the ability to view the status of all your resources and alerts through a single OpenEdge Management console. Remote resource monitoring also simplifies deployment because OpenEdge Management need not be installed on each host where the resources are to be monitored.
For monitoring resources remotely, OpenEdge Management uses the remote monitoring framework, which is a very fast and reliable messaging system.
