NetPath Network Path Analysis and Monitoring
Use network path visualization to trace critical network paths hop by hop, pinpointing latency, packet loss, and outages across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. Know about issues before your users do.

Visualize Complete Network Paths Across Hybrid Environments
SolarWinds® NetPath™ provides a single-page visual map of discovered network paths, showing the devices, networks, and providers traffic traverses to reach critical services. Gain visibility into external network nodes across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. When users experience slow performance, NetPath helps pinpoint underperforming nodes and connections by displaying hop-by-hop performance metrics, including latency and packet loss. For external issues, NetPath can identify the company associated with an underperforming node and display available contact information, helping teams troubleshoot problems and engage the appropriate provider more efficiently.
- See inside the internet cloud and across hybrid environments
- Identify the responsible party for external outages with built-in contact details
- View all devices, applications, networks, and vendors in a single page
Analyze Performance Across Every Hop in Critical Network Paths
SolarWinds NetPath goes beyond discovering the node-by-node path your traffic follows—it quantifies the performance of each link and node along the way. Latency, packet loss, and transit likelihood are displayed at every hop, making it easy to spot which device or connection is degrading end-to-end performance. When NetPath isolates a problem node, it enriches the view with additional data from Network Performance Monitor (NPM) for your on-premises devices. Integrating with NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) and Network Configuration Manager (NCM) allows further data enrichment, so you can correlate performance issues with traffic and configuration changes in one place.
- Measure latency, packet loss, and transit likelihood at every hop
- Isolate the specific node responsible for suboptimal performance
- Enrich path data with traffic and configuration details from NPM, NTA, and NCM
Review Historical Network Paths to Investigate Past Issues
Intermittent issues are the hardest to diagnose because they disappear before you can investigate. SolarWinds NetPath stores historical data for every probing interval, so you can navigate back to the exact moment users reported a problem and see what the network path looked like at that time. Underperforming nodes and connections are highlighted in red, with latency, packet loss, and transit details for each hop. If a configuration change caused the issue, you can view the config comparison and revert it using NCM—without switching tools.
- Navigate back to any probing interval in the timeline
- View underperforming nodes highlighted in red with detailed metrics
- Correlate configuration changes with performance issues and revert with NCM
