At this point, you should have your OpsMgr environment up and running and ready for a test drive. If you don't have this ready just yet, we suggest you take a read over Chapter 2, Installing System Center Operations Manager before you attempt to work through any of the examples here.
In this chapter, you will learn about the Operations console and its associated 'little brother'— the Web console.
