    example: ALEX;192.168.1.1;00-11-22-33-44-55-66;My computer;Work computer; Antonína Cermáka 2a Prague;;
    or
    DNS;IP;MAC;Name;Comment;;Latitude;Longitude
    example:
    SERVER;192.168.1.2;01-12-23-34-44-55-66;Server;Server room 21;;33.63738;67.345435

  • Go to the list of checks for this host


Using the map context menu you can:

  • Quickly go to the desired address on the map
  • Update the map
  • Add hosts to the map

  • green - all checks have passed
  • red - all checks have failed
  • yellow - at least one of several checks has failed
