Monitors
-
The monitors settings section lets you add performance and event monitors to a profile.
-
A monitor is a script which tracks events on a managed endpoint and takes specific actions if its conditions are met.
For example, 'Alert me when a USB removable disk is connected to the system', or 'Create a log entry if CPU usage goes above 75% for a certain length of time'.
-
You can also configure a monitor to run a procedure if its conditions are met.
-
There are two types of monitor:
'Predefined Monitors' - A collection of monitors from Comodo which perform a range of useful monitoring tasks. These can be used in custom profiles, but cannot be edited.
'My Monitors' - Custom monitors that you create. You can configure custom monitors in the 'Monitors' inventory ('Assets' > 'Configuration Templates' > 'Monitors'). See 'Manage Monitors' for more details.
-
Monitors added to the inventory can be added to a profile. You can add multiple monitors to a single profile.
