From this collection of guides, you’ll learn to effectively administer Itential Platform through Admin Essentials, including how to:
Before using Admin Essentials, ensure you have:
Prior to Platform 6, the Profiles page in Admin Essentials contained “Applications”, “Adapters”, “Configure”, and “Indexing” tabs. Now that Itential Platform can run without a profile, the “Applications”, “Adapters”, and “Indexing” tabs were moved to a new Status page.
The Profiles page in Admin Essentials now only contains the contents to edit “Profile Services” and “Profile Properties.” Any configuration done inside of a Profile will only affect that Profile; there is no way to modify a Config File or Environment Variables in Admin Essentials. Multiple profiles can exist for an instance of Itential Platform, but only one can be active at a time.
Select (or deselect) the checkbox next to the Profile Services name to enable or disable the service.
When a profile property is selected for editing, the properties are displayed as a form. Further details on the specifications stored and managed within Edit Profile Properties are available in the Profile Properties Configuration guide.
You can click the Menu button (stacked dots) in the upper-right corner to view profile metadata, clone a profile, or delete a profile if it is not the active profile.
Start with the Intro to Admin Essentials guide to familiarize yourself with the interface and core concepts, then explore specific administrative tasks based on your role and responsibilities.
