Process count - The up.time Monitoring Station includes a Process Count Check monitor which, given a process name and threshold value, will collect the number of occurrences of the specified process. This service monitor requires that up.time Agent be installed on the target server. http://docs.uptimesoftware.com/display/UT/Agent+Monitors#AgentMonitors-ProcessCountCheck Port availability - The DNS service monitor issue a request similar to nslookup against the specified server and thresholds can be configured based on the response from the server. http://docs.uptimesoftware.com/display/UT/Network+Service+Monitors Log monitoring - Log monitoring is accomplished with a Plugin service monitor. Plugin service monitors are available on the up.time Grid website and extend the out of the box functionality of up.time.
