Available Sensor Types
Available Sensor Types
Since each network device (or "server") typically has several parameters and 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.).
The sensors of this uptime monitor software not only check whether the server actually responds at all but also offer means of validating the replies from the server for validity.
Available sensor types include:
