Monitoring your Laserfiche Environment

The Laserfiche Administration Hub provides a central location to see all Laserfiche servers and installed applications. From a central view, you can keep your system up-to-date and up and running. From the Administration Hub, it’s easy to see all your machine where Laserfiche software is installed, basic information about those machines such as operating system and disk space, and details on which Laserfiche applications are installed and their exact version number. The server view also shows the status of each application, including when applications are not reachable or when a machine is licensed by Laserfiche Directory Server but the software is not detected.

Within each server, you can choose individual applications quickly navigate to the administration or configuration page and see additional details such as if there are any pending updates.

Additionally, a centralized log viewer collects information from all applications for easy troubleshooting and coordination with support engineers.
