What is network device monitoring?
Network device monitoring involves tracking the health, performance, and status of all the devices connected to your network, including routers, switches, firewalls, access points, and servers. By using an advanced network device monitoring tool like Site24x7, you can ensure maximum uptime, enhance security, and resolve performance issues swiftly before they disrupt operations.
Why you need a network device monitoring tool
Our network device monitoring tool provides real-time visibility and control over every device in your infrastructure. It helps detect issues early, optimize performance, and secure your network. Without this tool, network downtime, performance degradation, and security risks can negatively impact business productivity.
Here’s why network device monitoring is essential:
Key features of our network device monitoring tool
Our network monitoring tool offers a robust set of features designed to provide comprehensive insights into the health and performance of your network.
Real-time device monitoring
Monitor your entire network infrastructure in real time, including routers, switches, and servers. Track key performance indicators such as device availability, CPU utilization, memory usage, and network traffic to ensure everything is functioning optimally.
Top- and bottom-performing device tracking
Gain complete visibility over your network's performance with the health dashboard. Effortlessly analyze the top devices and interfaces based on critical metrics like response times, packet loss, traffic, and bandwidth utilization to ensure peak network efficiency.
Automated device discovery
Scan your network to identify all connected devices, including newly added or previously undetected ones. Take advantage of our automated network discovery feature to scan and discover devices in your network without manual intervention.
Network visualization using maps
View all your devices in a single window through network maps, regardless of the devices' locations, and quickly identify any device that requires attention before any issue turns critical. Whether they are Layer 2 and Layer 3 maps, topology maps, or even Cisco Meraki maps for your Meraki networks, we've got you covered.
Traffic flow and bandwidth analysis
Monitor the network traffic flow and analyze bandwidth usage across all your devices. Visualize traffic patterns, identify congestion points, and optimize bandwidth usage to prevent bottlenecks.
Configuration management
Automate device configuration tasks with our network configuration management features. Remotely configure devices, manage settings, and ensure all network devices are properly aligned to avoid configuration errors that can lead to issues.
Network security
Stay ahead of device compliance violations and firmware threats with our network configuration compliance and firmware vulnerability management tools. Receive alerts for unusual activity, unauthorized device connections, or potential breaches to protect sensitive data and maintain a secure network environment.
Proactive alerts and notifications
Set custom thresholds for key device performance metrics and receive immediate notifications through SMS, email, or the dashboard when a device exceeds these thresholds, enabling quick resolution. Also get notified when SNMP traps are triggered on devices.
Custom dashboards
Create personalized, customizable dashboards that provide at-a-glance views of the metrics that matter the most to your organization. Whether you're monitoring specific devices, network health, or performance trends, the intuitive dashboard design ensures quick insights, complete network observability, and faster decision-making.
Detailed reports and analytics
View detailed reports on device performance, traffic analysis, and network health. Generate customized reports to track device uptime, response times, bandwidth usage, and more, helping you make data-driven decisions to optimize network performance.
