About FMOS Control Panel

The FMOS Control Panel (CP) is used to manage configuration changes (yml files) on any FireMon server.

All FMOS configuration is currently done by editing /etc/firemon/config.yml using the command fmos config --edit. The reason we built Control Panel is to decrease the need to access the file system to perform configuration changes. One of the goals is to be usable by administrators with little to no experience with Linux or system administration in general. As such, Control Panel is a simple, intuitive interface to make configuration changes, without requiring you to edit YAML settings by hand.

Information icons are available for each entry field to provide more detail about the type of data that can be entered into the field.

Default or Customized Value

You can easily identify if a field is using a default or customized value by looking at the Status key. A field that has been customized will be highlighted and the Status key switched to the enabled position (solid blue toggle). The default value is seen below the field box.

Reset to Default Value

To reset a customized field to its default value, click the Status key to switch back to the disabled position.

Advanced Configuration Variables

Several system configuration variables have been marked as 'advanced' and are no longer visible or modifiable. If there are no 'basic' settings available for configuration, you will see a "No configuration settings available." on the page. Modifying advanced settings requires Support Services.
