LAN Monitoring
Use a multi-vendor LAN monitor to manage networks of every size
Use a LAN traffic monitor to analyze network availability
Quickly view the availability of your core IT services and data center through refined alerting capable of dynamically grouping related systems and devices. SolarWinds® Network Performance Monitor (NPM) is scalable right out of the box, designed to function smoothly and swiftly regardless of the size of your networks.
NPM LAN analyzer is built to perform detailed LAN monitoring and LAN mapping of routers, switches, servers, and other SNMP- or WMI-enabled devices. In addition, you can create customized network alerts and reports using out-of-the-box dashboards and best practice thresholds designed for easier network troubleshooting.
Generate intelligent alerts with a LAN monitoring system
Advanced LAN monitoring and LAN management includes customizable network alerts so you can set your own thresholds while also giving you immediate insight into network performance and the status of your network. You can customize alerts to notify the people who need to know about the emergent event and set alerts to send over email, text, and more.
The Network Insight™ technology included in NPM uses targeted monitoring based on each device’s role within the network, built to create a tailored and more efficient monitoring system. The Network Insight feature can also help you identify potential problems with your switches, firewalls, and load balancers.
Troubleshoot network devices with LAN monitoring software
Complex networks with advanced hardware require proactive, real-time monitoring with more information than just whether a device is up or down. SolarWinds NPM is built to provide insights you can use to better analyze wired and wireless device performance by monitoring a wide range of device details, including current node status, device information, device information, average response time, packet loss, and more.
Visualize connections with a LAN mapper
SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor is designed to go beyond just a simple overview of applications, topology, and network connections by also providing automatic visual overviews of this data all in one centralized dashboard. Use intelligent Orion® Maps to automatically display physical and logical connections between devices so you can make informed troubleshooting and capacity decisions for your network. The maps are built to automatically update to incorporate new network connections, so you have real-time, at-a-glance visibility.
These intuitive mapping tools are designed by network and systems engineers to make it easier for NPM users to visually identify what may be causing network issues. You can even customize the reports for your organization with the ability to use custom background images and specify visual elements like colors and symbols.

Do you find yourself asking…
Local area network (LAN) monitoring is a systematic series of observations, tests, and assessments performed on an internal computer network to detect slowdown or failure on the part of network components. Effective LAN monitoring is accomplished using monitoring tools, protocols, and thresholds to help identify the benchmarks against which network performance is measured. By setting warning and critical network performance thresholds, network admins can configure the LAN monitoring solution to preemptively alert when these thresholds are crossed to help prevent outages to LAN connectivity.
LAN monitoring software works by detecting potential network failures and performance issues like bottlenecks. LAN monitoring can help identify other common device issues, including overloaded servers, routers, switches, and other network devices. While not a part of a wired local area network, wireless network monitoring, or wireless LAN (WLAN), can also be important to consider in an overall network monitoring strategy.
This combination of a LAN monitoring tool and alerting thresholds can allow network administrators to select and modify the sections of the network they’re tracking, using data collected over time to maximize and improve network performance across all devices.
