Unified Administration
webMethods Administrator is a Web-based central portal that offers significant monitoring capabilities. Using webMethods Administrator, you can view and manage your webMethods deployment using a single interface from any host in the network.

Admin Organization
webMethods Administrator provides two different views: a high-level network view of all webMethods Integration Servers, Brokers, and adapters on your network, and a more detailed server view that displays information about configurations, versions, and usage statistics. In addition, webMethods Administrator lets you create views of logical groups, such as development, test, production, and project teams. Your administrators will find that these logical views greatly simplify the management and servicing of the webMethods integration platform.
