A Knowledge Module (KM) or a monitoring solution is a set of files from which a PATROL Agent receives information about resources running on a monitored computer. A KM file can contain the actual instructions for monitoring objects or simply a list of KMs to load. KMs are deployed to PATROL Agents and are located in the Infrastructure Management–PATROL Repository (Repository).

PATROL for Synthetic Monitoring enables you to collect information related to the health of web-based applications using attributes such as availability, performance, execution time, response time, and so on. Use this information to predict application health and user experience by identifying problematic transactions in your applications and taking preventive actions to ensure that your applications are always up and running.
