Monitor Tab

The Monitoring tab in Virtual System Administrator provides five methods of monitoring machines and log files:

Alerts - Monitors events on agent-installed machines.
Monitor Sets - Monitors the performance state on agent-installed machines.
SNMP Sets - Monitors the performance state on non-agent-installed devices.
System Check - Monitors events on non-agent-installed machines.
Log Monitoring - Monitors events in log files.

You can monitor the health in real time of managed machines and SNMP devices and be notified immediately if any problems arise. When programmable alarms are triggered, Monitor executes email notifications, scripts and job ticketing, for such problems and state changes as:

When any critical server or desktop computer goes off-line.
When a user disables remote control.
When any software application is added or removed.
When the hardware configuration changes.
When the computer is running low on disk space.
When a specific event or any event log entry is generated.
When any protection policy violation occurs.
When any script fails execution.
When an unapproved application attempts to access the network.
When an unapproved application attempts to access a protected file.
When a new device appears on the local area network.
When an external log records a specific log entry

In addition to generating alert notifications when event log entries are generated, event log entries collected from your managed machines are stored on the VSA. The event log data is always available, even if the managed machine goes offline or suffers a hard failure. Event log data is presented in a familiar and concise form using the Agent > Agent Logs page, as well as the Logs reports.

Note: Kaseya's IT Monitor Assist service extends monitoring past nine-to-five. By out-tasking systems management and monitoring during off-hours, MSPs can offer customers 24/7/365 "Always-On" monitoring.
