Availability monitoring in USM Appliance runs from the server, and can be used to monitor availability, assets, and services within your network. Monitoring an asset or service may require for the designated ports and ICMP protocol to be monitored as well. USM Appliance provides two types of asset availability monitoring:

• Host monitoring — reports whether an asset is up or down
• Services monitoring — discovers services on an asset and monitors their availability

You can also enable the LevelBlue Availability-Monitoring plugin to see events, see Enable Plugins on Assets.
