Watches states and logs

The main purpose of Watches in the solution Customer Monitor is to track values and states of IT system functions in real time, with notification of limit or erroneous values. Watches have a huge share on the main purpose of CM, which is to early and accurately determine errors, thus ensuring a smooth operation of computer equipment. Exact procedure of setup and description of the individual sections of Watches can be found in the section Introduction to setup of Online monitoring - Watches.

In this section we'll show you, where you can check the states of Watches, directly through C-MonitorConsole, but also through CM Portal, as well as view logs and history of the process of Watches.
