Sensors

The Windows GUI has a tab-like interface. Using the tabs you can navigate through various pages with information about your monitored objects, such as your network's status, monitoring results, etc., as well as access maps, reports, and settings.

There is documentation for the following tabs:

Viewing lists of sensors is a great way to keep an eye on your network's status, as you can select which kind of sensors you would like to see. You can filter by object, sensor type, and current sensor state.

Sensors Menu Tab

Click on the Sensors entry in the menu tabs bar to show a table list of all sensors. You can enable a filter to only show certain sensors. To do so, choose from three different drop down menus to build a filter. With each filter you can further decrease the number of sensors shown.

  • By Object
    The first drop down menu shows the device tree of your monitoring setup. Select a probe, group, or device, in order to only show sensors on this object. The default value is All Sensors.
  • By Type
    The second drop down menu shows all sensor types available in your monitoring setup. Select an entry to only show sensors of this type. The default value is All Types.
  • By State
    The third drop down menu shows all possible sensor states. Select an entry to only show sensors that currently show this status. Choose between All States, Down, Warning, Up, Paused, Unusual, and Unknown. The default value is All States. Note: If you click on a sensor symbol in the page header bar, you can directly view a sensor list filtered by the selected sensor state.

If you have filtered out all sensors and the list below shows no entries, try removing some filters by reverting them to the default values. To disable all filters, remove the check mark in front of the Filter by option at the beginning of the line.

In the list, one hundred entries are shown at a time. Use the arrow symbols above the list to show other items. You can jump to the beginning of the list, or browse through it hundred by hundred. If the list has more than one entry, you can also sort the items by the contents of a certain column. To sort, simply click once or twice on the header of the column you want to sort by.
