</div> <h2>Screenshot Tour of Red Hat Network</h2> <p>The following screenshots provide examples of functionality in each of the Red Hat Network modules:</p> <h3><a href="#update">Update Module</a></h3> <ul> <li><a href="#errinfo">Update - Errata Information</a></li> </ul> <h3><a href="#manage">Management Module</a></h3> <ul> <li><a href="#sysgroup">Systems Grouping</a></li> <li><a

<li><a href="#proberep">Probe reports</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="HRBox"> <a name="update"> </a><h2><a name="update">Update Module</a></h2> <div class="imgLeft"> <a name="errinfo"> </a><a href="/web/20051210184222/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_errata_detail.png"><img width="200" border="0" src="/web/20051210184222im_/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_errata_detail.png" alt="thumbnail - click to enlarge"/></a> <h3>Update - Errata Information</h3> <p>More than just package delivery, the RHN Update Module gives you full errata and detailed information, helping you understand the "how" and "why" of maintaining your machines.</p> </div> </div> <div class="HRBox"> <a name="manage"> </a><h2><a name="manage">Management Module</a></h2> <div class="imgLeft"> <a name="sysgroup"> </a><a href="/web/20051210184222/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_groups.png"><img width="200" border="0" src="/web/20051210184222im_/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_groups.png" alt="thumbnail - click to enlarge"/></a> <h3>Systems Grouping</h3> <p>Develop groups of systems for easy administration and maintenance. Maintain several systems at once rather than administering each system individually. Updating an entire group of systems is as quick and easy as updating a single system.</p> </div> <div class="imgLeft"> <a name="sysperm"> </a><a href="/web/20051210184222/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_channel_admin2.png"><img width="200" border="0" src="/web/20051210184222im_/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_channel_admin2.png" alt="thumbnail - click to enlarge"/></a> <h3>Administrator Permissions</h3> <p>You can assign roles to administrators to give them the least amount of privilege necessary. Also, group your systems according to your needs and then assign permissions to different administrators. This allows your organization to distribute the maintenance of systems to different groups, while upholding security guidelines.</p> </div> <div class="imgLeft"> <a name="schedup"> </a><a href="/web/20051210184222/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_apply_errata.png"><img width="200" border="0" src="/web/20051210184222im_/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_apply_errata.png" alt="thumbnail - click to enlarge"/></a> <h3>Scheduled Updates</h3> <p>Schedule a certain errata update for a system or group, allowing your organization to take advantage of scheduled downtime for errata maintenance if desired. Or, avoid manual updates completely with Auto Update - setting your servers to automatically pull down the latest errata as soon as it is available.</p> </div> </div> <div class="HRBox"> <a name="manage"> </a><h2><a name="manage">Provisioning Module</a></h2> <div class="imgLeft"> <a name="kick"> </a><a href="/web/20051210184222/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_ks_writer.png"><img width="200" border="0" src="/web/20051210184222im_/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_ks_writer.png" alt="thumbnail - click to enlarge"/></a> <h3>Kickstart configuration writer</h3> <p>Write Kickstart configuration scripts with our tool, or point to an existing system and have RHN create a script based on that system.</p> </div> <div class="imgLeft"> <a name="prov"> </a><a href="/web/20051210184222/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_kickstart.png"><img width="200" border="0" src="/web/20051210184222im_/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_kickstart.png" alt="thumbnail - click to enlarge"/></a> <h3>Existing state provisioning</h3> <p>Easily perform <em>on-the-fly</em> provisioning of your system with the simple point and click of a button. </p> </div> <div class="imgLeft"> <a name="config"> </a><a href="/web/20051210184222/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_config_channel.png"><img width="200" border="0" src="/web/20051210184222im_/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_config_channel.png" alt="thumbnail - click to enlarge"/></a> <h3>Configuration management</h3> <p>Avoid manually having to perform configuration management to each system. Easily configure text files for individual or groups of systems. Combine with Kickstart actions to enable a complete provisioning action.</p> </div> <div class="imgLeft"> <a name="multi"> </a><a href="/web/20051210184222/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_snapshot.png"><img width="200" border="0" src="/web/20051210184222im_/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_snapshot.png" alt="thumbnail - click to enlarge"/></a> <h3>Multi-state rollback</h3> <p>Multi-state rollback allows your system to return to a previous state or configuration instantly. No more manual removing of packages, trying to remember preexisting configurations, or using rollback through multiple iterations. Red Hat Network records these states for you and makes the process quick and easy.</p> </div> </div> <a name="monitor"> </a><h2><a name="monitor">Monitoring Module</a></h2> <div class="imgLeft"> <a name="mprobes"> </a><a href="/web/20051210184222/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_create_probe.png"><img width="200" border="0" src="/web/20051210184222im_/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_create_probe.png" alt="thumbnail - click to enlarge"/></a> <h3>Monitoring probes</h3> <p>Quickly create a monitoring probe that can track system, network, log, or application information.</p> </div> <div class="imgLeft"> <a name="probesuites"> </a><a href="/web/20051210184222/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_suite_probes.png"><img width="200" border="0" src="/web/20051210184222im_/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_suite_probes.png" alt="thumbnail - click to enlarge"/></a> <h3>Probe suites</h3> <p>Quickly deploy many probes to many systems. Probe suites are powerful tools that can save the time spent creating and configuring the same probes across systems.</p> </div> <div class="imgLeft"> <a name="monstat"> </a><a href="/web/20051210184222/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_monitoring_status.png"><img width="200" border="0" src="/web/20051210184222im_/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_monitoring_status.png" alt="thumbnail - click to enlarge"/></a> <h3>Monitoring status</h3> <p>Instantly see the performance of your systems. Email and pager notifications can be used to alert you when systems reach your warning or critical thresholds.</p> </div> <div class="imgLeft"> <a name="proberep"> </a><a href="/web/20051210184222/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_probe_graph.png"><img width="200" border="0" src="/web/20051210184222im_/http://www.redhat.com/g/rhn_probe_graph.png" alt="thumbnail - click to enlarge"/></a> <h3>Probe reports</h3> <p>View the performance of your systems over time with graphing capabilities inside Red Hat Network. You can spot performance trends and take corrective action before issues arise.</p> </div></p> <p> <span class="palenote"></span> </p> </div> </div>  <p id="footer"> Copyright 漏 2005 Red Hat, Inc.
