Administering Liberty using Admin Center
You can use WebSphere® Liberty Administrative Center ("Admin Center") to administer Liberty servers and applications and other resources from a web browser on a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
About this task
Use the Admin Center with a Liberty server or Liberty Core installation. An installation of the WebSphere Application Server full profile is not required.
Admin Center offers the ability to start, stop, and view details about Liberty servers and applications. It also offers the ability to edit server configuration files, to view bookmarked information, to add tools, to monitor server resources, and to deploy server packages on hosts within a collective. Advantages of the Admin Center design include:
- A user interface with a mobile look-and-feel for web browsers on a smartphone or tablet
- Support for multiple lightweight, task-oriented tools
- A toolbox that you can customize by selecting tools from a catalog, specifying bookmarks, or specifying user preferences
