Terminology

Devices

A device groups sensor metrics from any number of reporting monitors. There are no fixed rules about what constitutes a device in PortSensor. Devices may be hardware-related (e.g. servers, switches), software-related (e.g. helpdesk) or abstract (e.g. Sales Team).

Monitors

Monitors do the actual work of gathering and reporting sensor metrics for devices to the Server.

Feeds

Feeds provide sensor information from devices to viewers.
