The Tool Picker comes up when you first run iPAM.  It lists all available user interface tools.  iPAM supports  plugins.  Each plugin may its own tools.  The ones shown above are the ones that are part of the basic installation of iPAM 2.4.

Log window shows the most current 30,000 characters from the log file.  The log file name is 0checkpts\log.txt.

Administration window is the main tool for checking the status of iPAM.  It shows agent and queue states.

Property change is a simple tool that was designed primarily for debugging of iPAM but has been left in due to its simplicity.

Agent enables is a tools designed to help manage which agents are enabled and to help visualize the inputs and outputs to those agents.

Bert is the primary channel building tools.  It uses a "connect the block" visual metaphor to build "strings" of agents.

Stop button will signal the system to halt.  It can take more than 15 seconds to checkpoint and shutdown, depending on the size of the configuration and whether any agents are executing.
