Process and custom monitoring

You can select either process application monitoring or custom application monitoring method.

  • Process application monitoring detects the termination of one or more processes of an application.
  • Custom application monitoring checks the health of an application with a custom monitor method at user-specified polling intervals.

Process monitoring is easier to set up, as it uses the built-in monitoring capability provided by the operating system and requires no custom scripts. However, process monitoring may not be an appropriate option for all applications. Custom monitoring can monitor more subtle aspects of an application's performance and is more customizable, but it takes more planning, as you must create the custom scripts.
