Its easy to create a correlated view, where you can see both your server details overlaid with your website(s) or your website details, overlaid with your server(s).

You can then see this in the Details views (bottom right button on the widgets) in the Systems or Probe tab. Remember, you can monitor websites, web services or TCP ports with Revealcopperegg website monitoring (Probes tab)
