About property inheritance
In GFI Network Server Monitor, a parent folder is a folder which contains monitoring checks.
Parent folders have properties identical to those configured in monitoring checks. In fact, such
folder properties can be configured and then passed on to any/all checks contained in the
folder, i.e., they can b inherited.
