Observe Hybrid Network Connectivity with NetPath
Automatically generate the network path to critical applications and services
Visualize and continuously analyze critical network paths
The NetPath™ feature within SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted allows your team to view critical network paths regardless of their location. Leveraging our advanced platform, you can obtain service- and component-level visualization, gain deeper insights and actionable intelligence to make smarter decisions, and streamline the way you manage network services. NetPath will highlight component relationships, deviations, and dependencies—which organizations can use for deep outlier detection and cross-domain context.
NetPath: Hop-by-hop analysis along critical paths
NetPath helps you identify network problems faster within your hybrid IT and multi-cloud infrastructure. NetPath can automatically create a map of a problem area and enrich it with a wide variety of supporting information such as traffic and configuration details. NetPath displays the performance details of devices inside and outside of your network, providing you with end-to-end path visibility.
Map hybrid paths like never before
View performance, traffic, and configuration details of devices with NetPath. With NetPath, you can isolate network slowdowns and determine the actual person you need to contact to solve it. Understand your provider’s network better than they do with full hop-by-hop visibility into the entire network path. NetPath uses distributed monitoring and path analysis across a hybrid network to discover how applications are delivered to your users.

Do you find yourself asking…
Using distributed monitoring and path analysis, NetPath is designed to automatically create an end-to-end map of how applications are delivered to your end users. You can quickly identify network problems, locate paths to key applications or users who are down, and better understand how well your network delivers applications with NetPath. However, NetPath goes beyond simply discovering the node-by-node network path traffic follows—it also quantifies each link and node’s performance. NetPath will also isolate the node responsible for suboptimal performance.
To create a comprehensive map with NetPath, start by deploying agents on Windows computers. Acting as synthetic users, these agents will map and test the paths traffic follows to network endpoints via advanced probing. For example, you can quickly discover the network path traffic takes on the way to your website, external websites, or your local file print server.
After mapping the network path and quantifying each node and connection’s performance, NetPath will provide additional performance data for your nodes. Not only is this tool capable of displaying performance details for your on-premises devices by incorporating data from our Network Performance, NetFlow, and Configuration functionality, it can also display details for those outside your network. If NetPath identifies an external issue, it’s built to provide you with the name and contact information of the company that owns the underperforming node.
