Installation
GroundWork Monitor includes many monitoring profiles for a variety of devices, systems and applications. Profiles already imported on a new
GroundWork installation include Service Ping, SNMP Network, and SSH UNIX. The GroundWork Monitor Configuration tool is used to import
updated Profiles and Profiles that require additional setup; the Profile XML file and its companion Performance Configuration definition file.
Services can also be imported in addition to Service Profiles in the Profile Importer. The import process is documented under GROUNDWORK
PROFILES > Importing Profiles.
Implementation
This section contains detail settings used by this Profile. These parameters can be altered with the Configuration tool.
