Virtual Sensors can be a very powerful tool in your monitoring system. On the AlertWerks Gateway, 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 perform a SNMP Get command on a server to monitor memory, CPU load, or
temperature. You can also ping network enabled devices and be alerted if they go offline.
