Preface

Oracle Linux includes a web console you can use for system administration. The web console is called Cockpit. For non-minimal installations, Cockpit is automatically installed, although not automatically enabled. Cockpit provides a web browser interface for performing system configuration and administration tasks, either locally or remotely on multiple servers. These tasks include system resource monitoring and log review, network and firewall configuration, and package management and updates. Cockpit uses the same APIs to access system services, so any changes you make using operating system command line tools are updated in real time in Cockpit.
