Which Device Module to Use?

Lithium uses loadable modules to provide monitoring functionality to suite the device or software being monitored. These modules, or plug-ins are referred to as Device Modules or Vendor Modules. Only one Device Module is loaded per device being monitored in Lithium, and there must be a module loaded to peform any monitoring functionality. All demo and licensed versions of Lithium include the same modules.
