Common Sensors
The most common sensors for network monitoring are shown in this section:
- PING: Performs one or more PINGs to monitor the availability of a device and optionally measure packet loss in percent.
- PORT: Checks the availability of TCP based network services.
- HTTP: Monitors a web server via the HTTP protocol (see Web Servers (HTTP, HTTPS) Sensor Types).
- SNMP Traffic: Supports monitoring bandwidth (bits/s) and volume (bytes), as well as the number of packets and errors via SNMP for a port of a network card on a PC, server, switch, firewall, printer etc. (see SNMP Sensor Types).
- WMI Network Card: Measures traffic going through network cards (see WMI Sensor Types).
