# Welcome to WorkSpaces Manager

WorkSpaces Manager provides a full Amazon WorkSpaces management portal. Containing a user self-service and an administration portal in a browser-based environment, without using the AWS Console.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Custom Agent:** The **WSM Agent** by Nuvens collects hourly metrics on processor and memory usage, available disk space for root and user volumes, logon and logoff events, periods of inactivity, disconnect times, and more. This data helps monitor and optimize WorkSpaces performance effectively.
{% endhint %}

## Overview

**WorkSpaces Manager** is available as a standalone product and operates with a 3-tier architecture:

1\) **The Back-end tier:** Powered by MS-SQL, it supports various versions (Express, Web, Standard, and Enterprise) and can be deployed on AWS using either EC2 or RDS.

2\) **The Application tier:** Known as the **Management Portal**, this layer utilizes .NET on a IIS web server running on Microsoft Windows.

3\) **The Presentation tier:** This tier delivers the application interface to users. It can leverage a Microsoft Windows Web Server or an AWS Network Load Balancer, and can include DNS configuration, SSL certificate offloading, and enhanced security features such as Web Application Firewalls (WAF) or honeypots.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.nuvens.cloud/welcome-to-workspaces-manager.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
