Hi,
Is there a sensor that I can use that sends me a notification once the machine has been restarted?
Thanks,

Hello Aviv,
In order to monitor a machine restart you can use the WMI Event Log Sensor. In the sensor settings, enable "Filter by ID" and enter the ID 6005.
This ID is synonymous to system startup.

Dear,
I have identified that it is worth using the "SNMP system activity time" sensor. Does anyone recommend me?
