On this page, you can configure the Virtual Sensors. The first 5 sensors are free, if you need to use more you can purchase additional
licenses (see the Licensing section in this manual).

Virtual Sensors can be a very powerful tool in your monitoring system. On the AlertWerks Hub, you can have up to 32 of these virtual
sensors and they allow for a multitude of applications.
SNMP Get, sensor logic evaluation and ping commands among others are all possible from the virtual sensors. An example use of
this could be to use the AlertWerks Hub as a probe manager. If you had a AlertWerks Hub and multiple AlertWerks sensor devices
they could all be monitored, mapped and alerted via the AlertWerks Hub. You can perform SNMP Get commands on a server to
monitor memory or CPU load, or you can ping network enabled devices and be alerted if they go offline.
