This option provides four two portlets, Log Manager, Server Log Viewer, Web Access Log Viewer and Derby Log Viewer. JMS Server Manager and JMS Network Listeners.

• JMS Server Log Manager
  This portlet allows the user to select a configuration file for logging and/or change the log level and Refresh interval. The default "Config file" is a standard log4j file and defines the location where the Geronimo Server will log Geronimo output. The configuration file also defines the log level which allows a finer control of what is being logged.

• Server Log Viewer
  This portlet displays the Geronimo server log and is helpful for debugging problems with the Geronimo Console and with deployed applications.

• Web Access Log Viewer
  This portlet displays and filters the Web container log file. This log file contains HTTP accesses and messages from JSP and servlet applications that are running on Geronimo. By default this portlet displays the contents of the log file for the current date. You can apply different filtering criteria to view only data of your interest.

• Derby Log Viewer
  This portlet displays the log file for Geronimo's internal database, Derby.

The Geronimo monitoring plug-in is broken down between server and client plug-ins, referred to as the 'Agent' and 'Console' respectively. When properly setup, these plug-ins provide both local and remote real-time JSR77 compliant statistic monitoring, as well as historical tracking of any exposed statistic with visual representations drawn in the form of graphs through the Dojo Toolkit's dojoX Charting packages. Starting from v2.2, this portlet is optional, you can enable it by installing a plugin from Geronimo repository.

This option provides two portlets, JMS Server Manager and JMS Network Listeners.

• JMS Server Manager
  This portlet displays the available JMS Brokers and their state.

• JMS Network Listeners

Expert mode, which is commonly seen as the expert user checkbox, allows you to enable all actions for components. This can be understood as an override feature that will fully enable the user to perform options (Stop, Restart, and Uninstall) on components which would otherwise be grayed out and cause the application server to malfunction.
