This section assumes you have permissions granting you access to the software. In Trellix Intrusion Prevention System, this translates to a Super User role at the root admin domain. Your actual view of the interface may differ, depending on the role you have been assigned within the Trellix IPS. For example, certain tasks may be unavailable to you if your role denies you access. If you find you are unable to access a screen or perform a particular task, consult your Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Super User.
Important
For testing purposes, you can access the Manager from the server. For working with the Manager/Central Manager, Trellix recommends that you access the server from a client machine. Running the Manager/Central Manager interface client session on the server can result in slower performance due to program dependencies, such as Java, which may consume a lot of memory.
To view the Manager/Central Manager interface, do the following:
Task
Make sure the following services are running on the Manager server:
Trellix IPS Manager
Trellix IPS Manager Database
Trellix IPS Manager Watchdog
If you have installed the Central Manager, then make sure the following services are running on the Central Manager server:
Trellix IPS Central Manager
Trellix IPS Central Manager Database
Trellix IPS Central Manager Watchdog
Start the services using one of these methods to start the Windows based Manager, Database, and Watchdog services:
Select Start → Settings → Control Panel. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Services. Locate the services starting with Trellix IPS Manager.
Right-click on the Manager icon at the bottom-right corner of your server and start the required service. The database service is not available with this option.

Execute the manager start command to start the Manager/Central Manager service.
Execute the database start command to start the Manager/Central Database service.
Execute the watchdog start command to start the Manager/Central Watchdog service.
Open the Manager
