Managing Sensors

Since each network device (or "server") usually has several parameters or services that should be monitored you can set up various sensors to monitor each and every aspect of a server (e.g. webserver responsiveness, SMTP responsiveness, PING time, etc.). So a "server" has several "sensors" by which you will monitor all aspects of the server.

Sensor Types include:

·      PING--Sends standard PING to the server/device.

·      PORT--Opens the specified port on the server the sensor is attached to.

·      HTTP--Simple HTTP/HTTPS request.

·      HTTP Advanced--Advanced HTTP Sensor (features content check, proxy, and authentication settings).

·      HTTP Transaction--Check several pages in sequence (e.g. shopping cart).

·      DNS--Checks DNS server.

·      SMTP--Checks SMTP server.

·      POP3--Checks POP3 server.

·      FTP--Checks FTP server.

See the Sensor Types in Detail section for more information.
