Additional Tools (Monitoring)

WOCU-Monitoring offers as a complement to its functions a series of OpenSource Tools through the Monitoring option at the top right of the main menu.

By clicking the Monitoring button, you access a new environment where a set of external tools are grouped together, whose operation is independent of that of WOCU-Monitoring, but can be useful in the various day-to-day monitoring tasks.
