The System Management application

Use the System Management application (SMA) to monitor and control caches, agents, requestors, listeners, and other processing in your Pega Platform system.

Consult the System Management Application Reference Guide on the PDN for more information on this utility.

Capabilities

Using the System Management application, you can:

Starting the System Management application

From the Designer Studio, select Designer Studio> System > Operations > System Management Application to start the application.

To start the application, from a browser session, enter the URL:

http://hostname:port/prsysmgmt

In the above link, hostname is the node (in a multinode cluster) on which the application is installed.

Access

Caution: This utility operates on one node at a time, but can access any registered node. Many features can affect the performance and integrity of your system. Restrict access to the System Management application to those with UNIX administration experience.

For Tomcat-based systems, the web.xml and tomcat-users.xml files control access to such servlets. For WebSphere-based systems, the users.props and groups.props files define custom user registries.

For certain download operations, application server authentication might be required as defined for the PegaDiagnosticUser role in the web.xml file. Consult the Installation Guide on the PDN for further information and instructions.
