A monitor is a script which tracks events on managed Windows and Mac OS devices. You can instruct the monitor to take specific actions if its conditions are met.

For example, 'Alert me when a removable disk is connected to the system', or 'Create a log entry if CPU usage goes above 75% for a certain length of time'.You can also tell a monitor to run a procedure to remediate issues.

Monitors are added to configuration profiles which are in-turn applied to a devices. To add a monitor to a profile:

Click 'Configuration Templates' > 'Profiles'
Open an existing profile or create a new profile
Click 'Section' > 'Device' > 'Monitors'

A single monitor can be used in multiple profiles. A single profile can include any number of monitors. You can clone an existing monitor to create a new one.

There are two types of monitor:

Predefined Monitors' - A collection of monitors from ITarian which perform a range of useful monitoring tasks. These can be used in custom profiles, but cannot be edited.
My Monitors - Custom monitors that you create. These monitors are saved in the 'My Monitors' folder. You can create sub-folders as required.
