Setting up OpenEdge Management

When you open OpenEdge Management in a browser after installation, you select some initial configuration settings, such as the password you want to use for the management console and whether or not you want OpenEdge Management to start automatically when the AdminServer starts.

You also specify an e-mail server and a default operator who receives e-mail when OpenEdge Management generates an alert and you have set alert action as the Default_Action. The alert action is the action that should occur, by default, when an alert triggers. Other initial configuration choices you make affect SNMP adapter settings (if you have the SNMP adapter installed), and if you want OpenEdge Management to monitor and trend file systems and disks.

Once you make these initial decisions, you can set up OpenEdge Management to monitor remote resources. You also add OpenEdge Management users in one of two roles: as administrators, with access to all OpenEdge Management functionality, or as operators, with limited functionality access.
