Introduction to monitor checks
Monitoring checks are tests which verify the condition of specified
computers and services on your network. These tests check:
• Hardware status: i.e. verify that target computers and related
hardware components are available and running (e.g. Printer
availability and Physical disks availability check.)
• Applications and Services: i.e. verify that specific services and
applications are running on target computers (e.g. Generic
Exchange Server Check and DNS Server checks).
In GFI Network Server Monitor, you can create single checks as well
as batches of checks using the available wizards.
Quick Start Wizard
The Quick Start Wizard helps you quickly create and setup a batch of
monitoring checks suitable for your network. This wizard is
automatically launched the first time that GFI Network Server Monitor
is started, in order to help you get your network monitoring system up
and running in the least possible time.
