As an XWiki Admin, managing your on-prem wiki instance just got a lot easier! In our continuous effort to provide top-tier solutions for knowledge sharing and collaboration, we are excited to announce the release of our latest application: Admin Tools (Pro). 🎉
Psst... in case you didn't know, we also recently launched our Analytics Application (Pro).
Enjoy a comprehensive instance overview
Admin Tools Application (Pro) is an invaluable resource for Administrators and the Infrastructure team in your organization. This new addition provides a wide array of functionalities to help you run your on-prem wiki instance like a pro, optimizing your XWiki installation, maintenance, and resources allocation. Here are the main actions that you can perform in the central dashboard:
- Access detailed information about your XWiki configurations;
- View the last lines of logs to monitor recent activity;
- Access and download essential XWiki configuration and properties files;
- Monitor potential spam pages and deleted content across all wikis in your instance;
- View the usage for all wikis in the instance to monitor the resource allocation;
- Run health checks to ensure optimal configuration and memory usage, and access help links for troubleshooting;
- Flush the instance cache to maintain performance.
You will find all this information into an organized and comprehensive dashboard, as you can see below.
