Idea: Management Console
Web-based unified management interface with a plug-in architecture.
Each plug-in would manage a server or system service.
This idea is really a spinoff of the application server management GUI
that would be generalized so any application would be able to be jacked in.
Example plug-ins would be:
-
Services/Daemons
(Start/Stop/Status)
-
Process
Control (List/Kill)
-
System
Information
-
Database
Server Administration (Specific to each DBMS)
-
Server
Management (Remoting/Web/FTP/Build/etc)
The
MMC would be served by a self-hosted ASP.NET application running as a windows
service.
(Based on the
Cassini web server
released by Microsoft)
