Using Device Properties - Passive Monitors
Some measurable network conditions occur at intervals instead of providing an up or down
status. For example, an application may log a message to the system Event log (such as an
antivirus application alerting when a virus is found). Because these types of messages or
events can occur at any time, a Passive Monitor Listener listens for them, and notifies
WhatsUp Gold when they occur. For more information, see Using Passive Monitors (on page
232).
This dialog displays all Passive Monitors configured for this device.

existing action policy by clicking browse (...) next to the list.
Configured alerts appear in the Apply individual actions list, displaying the action type that
is to be fired and the state change that will trigger the action. You may have multiple actions
on a single device.
