Main screen - initial dashboard view

After you complete the configuration wizard go to the main screen, you're brought to ServersCheck's initial dashboard view. In this screenshot, you see a single monitored server -- the local system. Had ServersCheck located other servers during the configuration wizard, those servers would also be listed on this screen.

Note that this screen provides a wealth of information. The big green circle indicates that all is well with the monitored devices and ServersCheck even calculates your "current service level." Further, ServersCheck reports the number of up and down conditions, as well as which conditions are "iffy" (orange).

In the lower half of the window, note the gauges that are associated with the monitored device. These gauges give you an at-a-glance way to determine the device's health.
