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:
