The Service Monitoring Service (SVCMON) is a specialized current value service that provides a method to monitor many system, service, and site statistics. The SVCMON can be used to perform service health checks, check ping times, monitor disk utilization, software and operating system version numbers, memory usage and ping times. Attributes of specific services can also be monitored, such as VHS database utilization and percent full, pending GNS notifications, total points and maximum points for current value services, and Address Resolution Service license counts.
Additionally, the SVCMON supports a defined set of calculation types. Point tags can be added to monitor deltas and rate changes. For point tags that represent file sizes, items can be scaled. The maximum point count for the SVCMON is 500,000 points.
