[edit] Terminology
[edit] Server
The central server application receives sensor updates from monitors and shares sensor data with viewers.
[edit] 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).
[edit] Monitors
Monitors do the actual work of gathering and reporting sensor metrics for devices to the Server.
[edit] Feeds
Feeds provide sensor information from devices to viewers.
[edit] Viewers
Viewers read sensor metrics from feeds provided by the Server.
