Adding and editing a Process Monitor
This monitor uses SNMP to monitor the status of device processes and issues state changes as
needed. The Process Monitor can detect whether a process is running. You can use this
monitor to verify that anti-spyware or antivirus software is running of a device. If the monitor
does not find the specified program running, an associated action notifies you of this
potentially harmful vulnerability.
For more information, see the example Using the Process Monitor to Check for Antivirus
Software.
