# Amazon Systems Manager Fleet Manager
<a name="fleet-manager"></a>

Fleet Manager, a tool in Amazon Systems Manager, is a unified user interface (UI) experience that helps you remotely manage your nodes running on Amazon or on premises. With Fleet Manager, you can view the health and performance status of your entire server fleet from one console. You can also gather data from individual nodes to perform common troubleshooting and management tasks from the console. This includes connecting to Windows instances using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), viewing folder and file contents, Windows registry management, operating system user management, and more. 

To get started with Fleet Manager, open the [Systems Manager console](https://console.amazonaws.cn/systems-manager/fleet-manager). In the navigation pane, choose **Fleet Manager**.
