- A monitor is a script which tracks events on SNMP devices and takes specific actions if its conditions are met. For example, you can set up a monitor to alert you if a device is switched off for a certain length of time.
- Network monitors are added to network profiles, which are in-turn applied to your SNMP devices.
- Click ‘Network Management’ > ‘Profiles’ to view and create network profiles.
- Click ‘Network Management’ > ‘Devices’ to view discovered SNMP devices.
- Click ‘Network Management’ > ‘Discoveries’ to create and run scans to find SNMP devices on your network.
