Custom Cross-Plat
Authoring
Usage:
• Enables the creation of
monitors based on the
Execute Script, Execute
Shell Command, and
Execute Command actions.
• Enables bulk creations of
monitors in scenarios with
endless monitoring requests
and changes.
Shell CMD monitor
wizard
Usage:
• Faster turn around time for
simple one time Shell
command monitoring
request.
• Does not require advance
MP authoring knowledge.
Enables multiple users to
participate in creating
monitoring solutions.
