An event monitor is a process that runs and performs checks on server, workstation or any other network device. Event monitors run on a schedule that you choose. You can also select how you will be notified when something goes wrong. An event monitor can have its own set of notification options or by using a notification profile it can share notification settings with other event monitors.

A list of all available event monitors will appear. Select the event monitor you want to use. A description of what it does will appear on the righthand side. It's often worthwhile to spend a bit of time browsing the event monitor list in order to learn more about many things Tembria Server Monitor can help you to monitor.
