Overview

This page helps you get started using Mission Control. Assuming you comply with the System Requirements specified below, after going through this page, you should have your instance of Mission Control configured with at least one Artifactory service.

From version 3.1, the Mission Control installation file is available for download as an archive in three flavors: standalone ZIP file for Linux, RPM and Debian.

License

Mission Control itself is provided for free and has no license requirements. However, while you may view any Artifactory service from Mission Control, you may only configure and see relationships between services that are activated with Artifactory Enterprise, Enterprise+, and Artifactory Edge licenses.

Viewing Artifactory OSS, Artifactory Pro and Artifactory SaaS

You may add services of Artifactory OSS, Artifactory Pro to Mission Control, but for these instances, you can only view basic information. You cannot perform any actions on these services through Mission Control.

As a shared managed service, Artifactory SaaS is maintained for you by JFrog and can not be managed by Mission Control.

However, if you are running a Artifactory SaaS as a dedicated server, this can be fully managed by Mission Control
