The primary tool used by system administrators is the Servers Manager.

It is the main interface for determining overall system status and for performing system configuration, file management, and error monitoring functions.

The Servers Manager displays a colored dot (node) for each Data Workbench server and Sensor installation in your system and provides at-a-glance system status for each installation. It also displays a node for your Data Workbench installation.

Green nodes represent active connections, red nodes represent connections that are disabled or otherwise inaccessible, and gray nodes represent connections whose states are undetermined.

Right-clicking a node displays information about the connecting component and provides access to any related menus.

The following tables describe the information provided when you right-click a node for Data Workbench, Data Workbench server (including a master Data Workbench server in a cluster), or Sensor.
