Why server monitor doesn't work?
There may be many reasons of that, but the usual case is that the device is not configured correctly to work with the monitor. For example, if you want to monitor the sensor values, you have to configure the Device Poller and/or specify IPMI access data for the device firstly. If the configuration is saved correctly, monitors should work in a proper way.

The process is divided into two parts: order activation and server activation. Only the second part really begins the billing process of the service and ensures its full functionality. However, there is a possibility to configure a product in a way that a server is activated by default, right after the order is activated.
