RSUG personnel use tools such as nefu to monitor core ITD services. Real-time notification is available via text paging, email, finger, and HTTP.

Reports are generated automatically and distributed with an eye to spotting outage and slowdown patterns, planning for hardware upgrades and producing budget requests.

"4-HELP," the Campus Computing Assistance Hotline, uses UMCE monitoring to keep users informed on the status of outages.

UMCE nefu servers are mutually monitoring.
