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. CPU load, webserver responsiveness, SMTP responsiveness, PING time, etc.) So a "server" has several "sensors" by which you will monitor all aspects of the server.

You can choose from several different types of sensors that include

·      PING

·      PORT

·      HTTP

·      HTTP Advanced/Transaction

·      DNS

·      SMTP

·      POP3

·      FTP

For more information about sensor types see Sensor Types in Detail. For more information about editing sensors see the Managing Sensors section of the manual.
