Retrieving detailed information using the FSE Management Console

If you prefer graphical user interface over command-line interface, you can use the FSE Management Console to retrieve the desired information about configured FSE resources and FSE jobs.

NOTE: Files and older file generations on a particular HSM file system cannot be monitored with the FSE Management Console. You need to use FSE command-line interface (CLI) for such tasks.
