A system management application is a web, mobile, or desktop application that enables users to monitor and manage large fleets of computers. System management apps typically provide interfaces for viewing hardware status information (such as uptime, power state, and memory usage), viewing performance metrics (such as CPU load and disk I/O rate), booting remote computers, managing operating systems (OS) configuration settings across the fleet of machines (such as installing Microsoft Windows updates), configuring user accounts on each machine in the fleet, shutting down or rebooting an individual machine via command line interface (CLI), setting up routing rules for network traffic between machines in the fleet based on custom criteria, sending email alerts when hardware fails or changes occur within the fleet of machines, etc.
