Check folders
Introduction
In GFI Network Server Monitor, all checks are organised into folders.
Folders have properties such as alerts, dependencies and
maintenance parameters that are inherited by the checks contained in
those folders. This way, it is easy to change an alert or dependency
for a whole group of checks from a centralized point. By default, a
check inherits properties from the parent folder; however, you can
override this setting for individual checks if necessary.
Screenshot 90 - Nested Folders
Nested Folders (Folders contained in other folders) are supported in
the Enterprise/Consultant Editions. Nested Folders is a configuration
feature which allows you to organize monitoring checks in a deeper
hierarchical manner which reflects more closely the specialized
monitoring needs of your companies.
NOTE: Nested folders are not available in the Professional Edition
license of GFI Network Server Monitor
NOTE: Nested folders can also inherit properties from their parent
folder.
You can create folders yourself (New > folder…) or you can let the
New check wizards (i.e., the ‘New Check’ or ‘Quick Start’ wizard)
create them automatically for you when new checks are being
created. Folders that are created by check wizards are given the
names of target computers for which the checks are created.
