Chapter 4. Understanding the ZENworks Control Center

This chapter discusses the main administration console for ZENworks 7 Linux Management, the ZENworks Control Center (ZCC).

What Is the ZENworks Control Center?

The ZENworks Control Center is the heart of ZENworks 7 Linux Management. It is a task-oriented, web-based management console. If you prefer text-based administration, you can use ZLMAN. You can learn more about ZLMAN commands in Appendix A, “Commands.”

The ZENworks Control Center is divided into three primary regions (see Figure 4.1). These regions are the Banner, the Navigation Bar, and the Content region. The Content region is further divided into the Header and the View.
