Monitors
- The monitors settings section lets you add performance and event monitors to a profile.
- A monitor is a script which tracks events on a managed endpoint and takes specific actions if its conditions are met.
- For example, 'Alert me when a USB 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 configure a monitor to run a procedure if its conditions are met.
- There are two types of monitors:
- 'Predefined Monitors' - A collection of monitors from Comodo 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. You can configure custom monitors in the 'Monitors' inventory ('Configuration Templates' > 'Monitors'). See Manage Monitors for more details.
- Monitors added to the inventory can be added to a profile. You can add multiple monitors to a single profile.
- For example, 'Alert me when a USB removable disk is connected to the system', or 'Create a log entry if CPU usage goes above 75% for a certain length of time'.
- 'Predefined Monitors' - A collection of monitors from Comodo 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. You can configure custom monitors in the 'Monitors' inventory ('Configuration Templates' > 'Monitors'). See Manage Monitors for more details.
