Manage Solstice
Solstice offers centralized management, monitoring, and analytics tools for your Solstice deployment in the Solstice Cloud portal.

Configure over local network using Solstice Dashboard: For admins who need an on-premises solution, or who are unable to use cloud-based solutions like Solstice Cloud, Solstice Dashboard is a centralized management tool installed on a local machine or server that can be used to monitor, configure, and update groups of Solstice Enterprise Edition Pods on the local network. Solstice Dashboard should not be used to configure Solstice Pods already managed in Solstice Cloud. Learn More
