                 What is a Monitor?
                A Monitor is a specific Application, Server, Service or Web URL. The performance of
                  these Applications, Servers and Services are monitored on the basis of metrics like CPU Usage,
                  Response Time etc.
                Examples of monitors supported are Windows server monitor, WebLogic monitor, Oracle
                  database monitor, service monitor, URL Sequence monitor, Apache monitor etc.
                For eg., If you want to monitor 100 SQL Server installations in your network, the
                  100 SQL Servers will be considered as 100 monitors.
                Consider the Apache web server that is used by www.appmanager.com. This monitor
                  (Apache web server) may have 'N' number of performance metrics exposed. For info on what performance
                  metrics you can see for an Apache Monitor, refer Apache Monitoring.
                The total number of monitors, will include the monitors that we add by default. These default
                  monitors will not be taken into account while calculating the number of monitors for Licensing. 
               
             
            
            
               Why do I need an additional user license?
               A multi user environment allows more than one user to simultaneously login to the
                Web Console. Additionally, you can make use of the various roles like 'Operator', 'Manager' and 'Read
                Only User' to have more control over - which users see what data. 
             
            
              How do I enable Monitor Add on(s)?

                buying a monitor Add-on, for example - SAP Add on, if you apply the license, SAP Monitor will be
