What is a Monitor?

A monitor is any specific application or server instance within your environment that you monitor in Applications Manager. For example, if you monitor 100 SQL server installations, your monitor count will be 100 (or) if you monitor 50 windows servers, your monitor count will be 50.


Applications Manager supports 80+ Monitor types. You can view the full list of supported monitor types here.

A monitor is different from a performance metric.
A performance metric is an attribute that is part of a monitor.


Consider the Apache web server that is used by http://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/index.html. This monitor (Apache web server) may have 'N' number of performance metrics exposed. For information on what performance metrics you can see for an Apache Monitor,
refer Apache Monitoring.

Note:
The total number of monitors in your Applications Manager installation includes the monitors that are added by default when you install the product. These default monitors will not be considered while calculating the number of monitors for licensing purposes.
