Traverse monitors the availability and performance of your network and application systems, and their underlying components. These systems and components may be routers, switches, servers, databases, networks, or applications.
A test is the measure of device functioning. Tests are used to monitor your devices. Traverse reports the status of each test. The status of a test is shown as icon in the Status > Devices > Test Summary panel and corresponds to the following types of states: ok, warning, critical, unknown, unreachable, suspended, or not configured. A device inherits its status from the worst current status of any of its tests.
Traverse uses boundaries called thresholds to determine a test's status. A threshold violation occurs whenever a test result crosses a threshold.
An action is an activity that is automatically triggered by a threshold violation. Actions can be designed to take place immediately when a single violation occurs or after the same violation occurs repeatedly. For instance, an email notification can be sent whenever a test crosses the warning threshold, or it can be sent after a test has crossed the warning threshold five consecutive times.
