Own services

In the tabsheet Own services it is possible to define and install your own created non AMT services.



These services can then be controlled in the Applications -> Sever control page of the Control Center.

There will be no statistical information shown about the Own service in the Processed -> Statistics page, since it is impossible to retrieve this information from the external non AMT service into the AMT environment.
