F5 NGINX One Console makes it easy to manage NGINX instances across locations and environments. The console lets you monitor and control your NGINX fleet from one place—you can check configurations, track performance metrics, identify security vulnerabilities, manage SSL certificates, and more. NGINX One Console is part of NGINX One, which includes [NGINX One components](#nginx-one-components).
