Response Time Monitor
Monitor response time to help ensure excellent performance
Monitor response time in real time for optimized network performance
Ongoing response time monitoring is essential for any organization. Without it, you might not realize performance has degraded until end users are already experiencing the impact.
SolarWinds® Engineer’s Toolset™ (ETS) is built to offer real-time response time monitoring to ensure you’re aware as soon as a degradation in response time is detected. With early detection, you can begin addressing the problem quicker, which also means fewer slowdowns for end users.
Intelligent alerting and intuitive interfaces for easy visibility into your network response times
Response time monitoring is only useful if you’re able to use the data your tool collects. That’s why SolarWinds Engineer’s Toolset comes with intelligent alerting capabilities designed to let you know when the response time monitoring tool detects an issue. Once you receive an alert, you can turn to the intuitive interface in ETS to easily identify which node is having the issue with response time. From there, you can begin diagnosing and resolving the problem.
Easily identify response time degradations with straightforward response time testing
Response time testing involves pinging nodes with a sample packet to test their response times. With SolarWinds Engineer’s Toolset, you can schedule automated pings to help ensure none of your devices and nodes are slipping under the radar. These response time tests are also useful because ETS stores historical response time data, so you can compare results of current response time tests to historical baselines to more easily identify anomalies.

Do you find yourself asking…
Response time is the length of time between an inquiry being made on a system and when the system reacts and responds.
Response time is a combination of the wait time and service time for any given request. Wait time refers to the amount of time the inquiry had to spend waiting in the queue before it was serviced. This time can range from zero to many multiples of the service time if there are already many other requests in the queue addressed first. The other half of the response time equation—service time—refers to the amount of time it actually takes to complete the inquiry.
Response time is generally used as a measurement of general system performance. Low response times often reflect that your system is performing optimally, while higher response times may indicate an issue with your system performance. Typically, the wait time for inquiries increases in a non-linear fashion the busier a device or system becomes. The busier the system is, the more dramatic the response time increases will seem.
Understanding response time is important for maintaining optimal performance in a system. Response time plays a role in a variety of different computing technologies, including memory handling, disk I/O, loading webpages, and database queries. Given how important having low response time is for maintaining optimal system performance, response time monitoring should be an element of any organization’s performance monitoring and optimization efforts.
