Device Monitoring Engine

The Device Monitoring Engine (DME) is an optional component that monitors physical device status and faults. Installed on a server station, DME monitors selected devices for SNMP status changes and logs the status changes. You can view the current status of any monitored device in the Device Monitoring Console. If you want to monitor a device for a particular type of fault (e.g. offline status or paper jams), you can create Alert Rules that send notifications when the fault occurs.

IT Managers can run standard or custom device status reports to proactively identify devices requiring service or replacement. These reports track the historical status of a device over time, allowing you to understand the performance history of the device.
