Definition Copied
Provide a clear and concise definition of the concept. It should also answer these questions:
- What is this about?
- What is the purpose of this concept?
- Why should I use it?
Make sure to provide the most essential information first, followed by the less important details. If necessary, organize content into paragraphs and subsections. You may also provide analogies, comparisons, historical background or use cases for better understanding.
Active Console is a standalone application that allows you to connect to and view the contents of Geneos Gateways. It has a graphical user interface (GUI) that presents high-level (via dashboards and graphs) and low-level (via tables and rows) real-time monitoring. It also allows control functionality, such as viewing alerts, executing commands, and running rules.
You can use a diagram, screenshots and any graphical representation to demonstrate how the concept is structured to illustrate where it is placed in the larger system. However, be mindful not to overwhelm the document with unnecessary visuals if the concept can be adequately explained by text alone.
In addition and if applicable, use notes, warnings, or tips to highlight any important information that users must know about. For more information, see the Markdown Style Guide.
