5 Check folders
5.1 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.
Nested folders are not available in the Professional Edition license of GFI Network
Server Monitor
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.
