About AWX files

The .awx file extension is primarily associated with the ITRS Geneos Active Console, serving as a comprehensive workspace container. These files store your complete monitoring environment setup, including dashboard layouts, active views, and gateway connection settings. A major problem for DevOps and support teams is the format's opacity; while it appears to be a proprietary binary, it is technically a ZIP archive containing structured XML configurations. Because users cannot simply open an .awx file in a standard text editor or web browser to audit settings, they often feel locked out of their own data. To perform version control, diffing, or external auditing, the most practical workflow is converting or extracting the file to XML or JSON. This reveals the human-readable configuration logic hidden inside the compressed container.

Convert.Guru analyzes your AWX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
