Test Signal

Monitor Specs

Description: This monitor just sends a test signal through the system so we can verify that things are correctly working. Two checks generate random numbers from a Poisson and Normal distribution; the third always returns zero so we can measure monitor invocation overhead.
Name: testsignal
