4.2 Understanding Other Tools
Additional standalone tools are installed with WebMarshal. You can access these tools through the Windows menus.
The WebMarshal Server Tool allows you to perform additional management tasks on the local WebMarshal Processing Server:
•Start or stop WebMarshal services.
•Add the processing server to an array, or remove it from an array.
•Change some performance related settings.
•Change locations for log and temporary files.
•Configure communication between the Processing Server and the WebMarshal Array Manager.
For more information about servers and arrays, see “Managing Array Servers”. For detailed usage instructions, see Help for the tool.
The WebMarshal Security Tool is installed with the Array Manager. This tool allows you to set WebMarshal administrative permissions for Windows accounts. By default administrators of the Array Manager computer have full permissions. For more information, see “Configuring WebMarshal Security”.
The WebMarshal Configuration Backup Tool is installed with the Array Manager. This tool allows you to perform configuration backup from the command line or a scheduled task. For more information, see “Importing and Exporting Configuration”.
The Support Tool is installed with WebMarshal. This tool gathers information about the WebMarshal installation and the server WebMarshal is installed on. Its purpose is to help the Trustwave support team diagnose support issues. To use the tool select Tools > Open Support Tool. You can also run the tool from the Start menu (Apps), or from a command prompt as MarshalSupportTool.exe in the WebMarshal installation directory. Each time you run the tool it checks for updates to the support tool application. For more information on how to use the Support Tool, see Trustwave Knowledge Base article Q15024.
The Proxy Cache command line tool is installed on each WebMarshal processing node server. The tool allows you to maintain and analyze the cache folders. The tool can be used to list the URLs of files that are stored in the cache, and to delete specific items from the cache. This is useful when diagnosing cache issues and during testing. To start the tool, within a Windows command prompt navigate to the WebMarshal install location and run WMProxyCacheTool.exe. For more information on how to use the tool, see the tool help or Trustwave Knowledge Base article Q12724.
