Introducing the web console for RHAMT

It allows you to group applications into projects for analysis and provides numerous reports that highlight the results.

The web console can be installed either using the ZIP distribution or on OpenShift.

To learn more about the web console and how to use it, see the RHAMT Web Console Guide.
