Virtual Sensors can be a very powerful tool in your monitoring system. The AlertWerks PLUS Gateways can have up to 80 of these virtual sensors and they allow for a multitude of applications. SNMPget, sensor logic evaluation, and ping commands among others are all possible using virtual sensors.
Examples of the use of virtual sensors include: You can use SNMPget commands on a server to monitor memory or CPU load, or you can ping network-enabled devices and be alerted if they go offline.
