With OpenEdge Management, you can configure and 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 on the remote resource's host machine.

See Set 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.
