Welcome to the Internet Alerts – Performance Express Configuration! The Express Configuration is designed to make setup for Internet Alerts – Performance easier for most users. Express Configuration uses a single POST request to configure several IP addresses. These IP addresses will be (1) added to the same (newly created) inventory, (2) be monitored by the same collector, (3) and alert at the same thresholds.
Note for Users who also use Internet Intelligence’s UI: Performance Monitoring status does not display on the Inventory view in the UI. The Monitor toggle switch is accurate for Routing Alerts only.
