Realm Administration Tools

The realm service stores the realm definition, and makes it available to client application processes. Administrators can use a graphical user interface (GUI) and a REST-style web API to configure the realm definition and monitor client processes.

Administrators define the realm and its parts using the configuration interface (see FTL Server GUI: Configuration).

Administrators monitor and manage the realm's client processes using a monitoring interface (see FTL Server GUI: Monitoring and Administration).

These interfaces are accessible through a web browser that connects to the FTL server (see FTL Server and Interfaces).

Administrators can also define, monitor, and manage the realm and its clients through a REST-style web API interface (see FTL Server Web API).

Administrators can use external tools to monitor processes and analyze their metrics (see Catalog of Metrics ).

Administrators can perform a realm backup and restore. Backup can be performed while the servers are running and without interruption to clients. See FTL Administration Utility for the commands to back up and restore the realm.
