Resource Monitors is a section in Quicklaunch where you can keep track of all your resources such as video cameras, disk space, network, etc.   You can use Quicklaunch to show when there is a problem with a resource. When there is an issue the resource icon will show yellow/red if CPU, Memory or storage are too high. For example, if your network is slow the icon will show as yellow, if your network is disconnected it will show as red. 


Quicklaunch can send emails if there is a resource that is unavailable or if there is an issue. For more information see the FAQ
