All your Silent Bricks at a glance
XMT collects the status of multiple Silent Brick controllers through the REST API and shows volumes, capacity and replications in one web interface. You see deviations immediately, also by email or on your syslog server.
What XMT does for you
If you manage several Silent Brick systems, you don't want to open every controller separately. XMT brings everything together and helps you keep an eye on replications and capacity.
Many systems, one dashboard
Add Silent Brick controllers with their address and API account. XMT shows the general status, network details and volumes of each system.
Volumes and capacity
Name, type, capacity, used space, snapshot usage and encryption per volume, clearly side by side.
Replications in view
See which volumes replicate where, and pause or convert replications from the same interface.
Alerts and events
Event log with timestamp and host. Email alerts to multiple recipients and forwarding to your syslog server.
Scheduled tasks
Schedule recurring actions with a cron editor, without maintaining scripts on the appliance by hand.
Administration and security
User management with roles, HTTPS certificates via CSR, network settings and updates through the web interface.
