Use the GUI to access and manage your resources, including:

  • DBC Resources and Connection Pools for database access
  • JMS Resources for asynchronous messaging
  • JavaMail Sessions for STMP server access
  • Connectors for external system connections

Quick Access to Monitoring Results

Review runtime status of components and services of Payara Server. Admin Console provides direct access to the data from the monitoring service via a simple viewer.

Get Instant Online Help

The embedded online help tool allows quick and easy access to descriptions, procedures and details for correct use of the Payara Server Admin Console.

Find the Source of Issues

The Admin Console Auditing Service in Payara Server will keep track of all actions that are executed (manually or through the asadmin CLI tool) so that you can later determine if any problem was linked to a certain command that was executed.

Automate Actions

The Asadmin Recorder feature will allow you to record the actions you take in the Payara Server Admin Console as asadmin commands. Once enabled, the asadmin command for the corresponding action will be recorded to a file and can be reused later to reduce mistakes.

Ensure Authorized Access

Secure Administration prevents unauthorized access when performing Payara Server configuration remotely by requiring an SSL encrypted connection with a username and password.
