93.3 How to Monitor MMS actions

Media Manager Service (MMS) having been developed as a service and not as an application has no graphical interface. Therefore, in order to monitor what it is doing, we have to only use ETEREWEB. 

Once logged into your WEB instance, in the main menu on the left side browse to System > Media Manager Monitor.

What is Media Manager Monitor

The MEDIA MANAGER MONITOR section monitors which MEDIA MANAGER SERVICES are running, what they are doing and how they can be managed.
