Plug-in monitors provide an easy way to:
\n
\n - Expand up.time's standard capabilities: add new service monitors to report on servers, services or other devices.
\n - Implement special customized solutions: plug-in monitors can provide capabilities beyond those offered by script-based custom monitors and can be fully integrated into the up.time UI with defined options that will be used when creating an instance.
\n - Share resources with the uptime community: all plug-in monitors released by uptime or developed by uptime clients are available on the Grid.

\nGuidance for constructing your own plug-in monitor is available in the Creating Plug-in Service Monitors in up.time knowledge base article.
