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:

PING	Sends standard PING to the server/device
PORT	Checks whether the server accepts connection at the specified port number
HTTP	Simple HTTP/HTTPS request
HTTP Advanced	Advanced HTTP Sensor (features content check, proxy, and authentication settings).
HTTP Transaction	Checks several pages in sequence (e.g. shopping cart)
DNS	Checks DNS server
SMTP	Checks SMTP server with various protocol options
POP3	Checks POP3 server with various protocol options
FTP	Checks FTP server with various protocol options
SQL	Native monitoring for MS SQL, Oracle SQL and MySQL servers
