Hi Daniel,

you just found one of our Easter Eggs. :-)

The Green IT sensor is always green. That's it. Please use this sensor type to brighten up your day if there are too many red sensors in your network.

The ZEN sensor: Another easter egg! Congratulations :-)

The deeper meaning of course is 42.

PS: Actually both sensor types serve a purpose as they can sometimes help design and test notifications, triggers, and their latencies.
