7. Monitor Protocol Status Color-code/Severity
Device ICMP/TCP port check Availability, response time, and
packet loss
Attention (1 poll)
Trouble (3 polls)
Critical (5 polls)
Interface SNMP Up/down Interface down
Service TCP port check Up/down Service down
Windows NT service WMI Up/down Service down
Process WMI/SNMP/SSH/Telnet Up/down Process down
File/Folder WMI Availability
URL HTTP /HTTPS Availability, response time

a proxy
Local website

16. File and folder monitoring
• Monitoring the availability of files and folders
• Configure thresholds for file/ folder size
• Configure filters to monitor only the required files
• Perform automatic checks to trigger alerts when
changes occur

SNMP or WMI monitor
• Any script language that runs on a shell or prompt is supported
o VB script
o Power shell script
o Perl script
o Shell script
o Python script
• Export/import existing script templates
o Download one from ManageEngine
