Object classes
Each object belongs to one of the classes. Classes help to simplify visual representation of information and define the monitoring logic.
In the Standard view an object class is displayed in its bottom right corner as a pictogram corresponding to the class:
In the Grid view an object class is displayed as an icon before the name of the object:
In the Table view an object class is displayed as an icon before the name of the object:
An object class affects to:
-
appearance of the object;
-
default logic of states changing (state change conditions can be set for each class separately);
-
default logic of alarm generation (alarm generation conditions can be set for each class separately);
-
set operations by default (operations can be set for each class separately);
-
a set of graphs to display;
-
a list of available monitoring settings;
-
availability of predefined monitoring settings.
For example, objects of the Process class have got only the Process by name probe type in monitoring options, while for objects of the Memory class probe types are not available at all because they are predefined.
Object class is used in search and bulk operations. All of the objects from particular class can be quickly found, and new settings can be applied to them.
| Administering of object classes takes place in the section Object classes of the system configuration window. |
Standard classes
The system has the following standard classes:
| ID | Name | Category | Description |

Saymon Agent
The Saymon Agent class is meant for objects, that represent SAYMON Agent.
Objects of this class have an additional button , that is shown when a user hovers over an object representation. This button open the agent settings window that is used during Autoinstallation.
| Objects of this class don’t have a Monitoring section. |
Objects of this class have the following state change conditions set up by default:
CPU
Objects of this class are used to monitor processor of a device, where an agent selected in the Monitoring section is running.
Objects of this class have a Counter widget that shows a one minute average CPU load.
A user can’t select monitoring sensor in objects of this class. Object of this class uses the CPU to monitor a processor of a system, where a selected agent is running.
Objects of this class have the following state change conditions set up by default:
Memory
Objects of this class are used to monitor memory of the device, where an agent selected in the Monitoring section is running.
By default, objects of this class have Counter widgets that displays the usage of RAM, swap-file, and total usage.
A user can’t select monitoring sensor in objects of this class. Object of this class uses the RAM sensor to monitor memory of the system, where a selected agent is running.
Objects of this class have the following state change conditions set up by default:
File system
Objects of this class are used to monitor file system of the device, where an agent selected in the Monitoring section is running.
A user can’t select monitoring sensor in objects of this class. Object of this class uses the File System sensor to monitor the file system of the device where a selected agents runs.
You can use the Full list checkbox to display all devices in the file system.
Objects of this class have the following state change conditions set up by default:
