Monitored Computers

Use Manage – Monitoring – Computers to display the list of computers that you wish to monitor.

Computer List

The list can be edited with commands AddNew, EditEdit, and DeleteDelete.

Computers running Agent version 6.0 SP2 or later are added to this list automatically as soon as WebService receives data from them. If you are monitoring any machines that are running an older Agent version, you need to add them to the list manually and enable the support for older Agent versions on the Server.
