A Generic Sensor is a pre-configured mini-application, which network operators install on their servers using e.g. FTP. Using Server Scout's Repository, as many Generic Sensors can be instantiated, as required. Given the URL of a Generic Sensor, Server Scout asks the sensor for properties and fills the 'Property Name' menu.

Using Server Scout's Generic Sensor Explorer the application connects to a Generic Sensor installed on a local or internet-connected server. Server Scout prints name and explanation of each property of the sensor. Using Generic Sensor Explorer, network managers gain instantly insight in their sensor network.

Using Server Scout's Discover Network feature, Server Scout prints technical details for all devices of a network. Using a simle contextual menu command, a device can be added to Repository using a single click.

Add Sensor's of Server Scout's Repository to Workbench using a simple drag'n'drop operation.
