How It Works:

Acronis Monitoring Service supports two types of checks: external (via the Acronis’ worldwide polling network) and internal (behind the firewall).

External monitoring is performed remotely using the global monitoring network of Acronis’ public agents. With no software to install you are able to ensure your websites, web services and internet-facing devices are up and running smoothly.

For internal monitoring small-footprint native agents are installed on the on-premise or cloud-based servers, thus enabling monitoring of your IT infrastructure (system, network and application metrics) beyond the firewall.
