Admin Studio purpose and roles

Admin Studio focuses on system administration and provides tools for monitoring and debugging resources in your system. Target users of Admin Studio are system administrators.

Admin Studio tools

By exploring the work areas that Admin Studio includes, you can maintain the top performance of your application. In the Overview work area, you can view data about your system and analyze information about all of the resources available in your environment. For example, you can check how many nodes your application includes in total, and how many of those nodes are currently running. The Resources work area provides access to landing pages that focus on specific resources in your system. Depending on the resource, apart from viewing a list of resource instances available in your system, you can also investigate and fix issues, start and stop resources, or even remove resources from the system. In Admin Studio, you can also configure the settings for a mobile build server and manage the cache for users of your application's mobile channel, as well as preview system details, available nodes, other applications, and Java classes.
