Need Web based centralized console

**Sharanya** · 10-02-2010

Hi all,

I am a server admin in one company. Sometimes when I logging into multiple servers can face the changes is troublesome. I need some web-based centralized console to review and accept changes by server. Please advice for some tool or program. Thanks in advance.

You can use open source web-based centralized console that is tripwire to review and accept changes. It have some great features like lists all your servers and their statuses with has changes, no changes or no report on a single web page. You can also review the changes. Check that and reply.

I am also using tripware that is easy to use. One time logging in, we start to create servers. For each server, we state the hostname, the ssh public key and many more. Once the servers are twisted, CentralWire will download its newest tripwire statement once every 24 hours in the background. If the report has changes, we can review the report and recognize the changes right here in CentralWire. We can also accept the modify for one server or for all the servers listed in one step.

It is also integrates with LDAP for authentication. After the installation, you need to CentralWire that is a standard Java web application and should run on all web containers supporting the Servlet requirement v2.4 and JRE 5 or later. It former tested with Tomcat 6 and Jetty 6. It also needs databases that maintain character large objects (CLOB). It is been tested with PostgreSQL 8.2. Check and reply how was the experience.

You need to login using an LDAP account that fit in to the group named "admin". Then you'll observe the main screen: the screen inventory all the servers . So, click "Add new server" to classify a new server. Note that the SSH key value can be found in /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub on to facilitate h1 host. Click "OK" and then "Main page" to go back to the main page. You'll perceive this new server. Check and reply.

CentralWire will login as that user to access the database. Take PostgreSQL as an example. You need to put the following commands on the database server host as root.

Code:

su postgres
createuser -S -D -R -P centralwire
Enter password for new role: 123  <-- Use a better password!
Enter it again: 123
createdb -E Unicode centralwire
psql template1
