Add monitoring locations

Application Monitoring supports three location types:

• Public probe - Global network of monitoring nodes designed to track the availability of your servers 24 hours a day from outside your network.

• OnSight - The OnSight vCollector sits behind your firewall and functions similarly to our public monitoring nodes, which runs uptime checks and synthetic monitoring against your publicly available servers and web endpoints. The OnSight can be used to verify performance from core office or data center environments.

• Endpoint Agents (DEM Agent) - Collects key OS health and application performance metrics from remote locations like employee computers, retail locations, or public probes for external verification.

To add a monitoring location, perform the following steps:

1. From the Overview tab of the application during initial set up, click Add under Monitoring Location. Alternatively, you can also go to the Locations tab and click Add Location.
