Network Performance Reporting
View key performance metrics with detailed, actionable reports
Generate and share network performance reports
SolarWinds® Network Performance Monitor (NPM) makes it easy to monitor network performance and create reports using out-of-the-box and community-generated templates. Use NPM to create reports on a range of key performance parameters, including node and interface availability, current interface, node, and volume statuses, a range of historical metrics, and much more. You can also use NPM for documenting service-level agreements (SLAs) for availability and response time for billing and Quality of Service (QoS) purposes.
Customize built-in network reports with a few mouse clicks
With NPM, you can easily create, manage, and customize reports from the web console. Start with one of the out-of-the-box reports included with SolarWinds NPM, use the LUCID interface to quickly customize built-in network reports and community-generated templates, or use SQL commands to create completely customized reports. In addition, SolarWinds’ online community, THWACK, includes hundreds of user-generated reports that you can easily import into SolarWinds NPM.
Automate and share report notifications for your management team, giving them the data they want
With NPM, automate how and when you share reports with your management team and other stakeholders. Use the tool’s reporting features to easily create, view, and edit reporting schedules as needed. While creating or editing a report, you can easily schedule it to run at a set frequency, when it will automatically be emailed, printed, or saved. You can also export PDF reports of any NPM view. In addition, NPM's reports can be modified to limit the information contained in the report by user profile, enabling you to generate reports for specific departments or recipients.
Project future network performance trends and capacity needs based on reports
With NPM’s in-depth reports, you can gain insights into historical metrics that may help you better predict future network trends. For instance, you can improve capacity forecasting using up to 180 days of metrics from across the nodes, interfaces, and volumes monitored by NPM. Gain insight into CPU utilization, memory usage, space usage, and more. Using peak and average calculations, you can make more accurate forecasts about your network usage, so that you are better prepared to manage network resources and ensure you can support the needs of the network’s users.
Use a network reporting tool as part of comprehensive network performance monitoring
Reports are just one of the features that enable you to detect, diagnose, and resolve network issues—even before outages occur. Start by automatically discovering SNMP-enabled network devices. NPM is built to help you track response time, availability, and uptime of routers, switches, and other SNMP-enabled devices. To supplement historical network reports, view performance statistics in real-time via dynamic, drillable network Orion maps. NPM also includes out-of-the-box dashboards, alerts, and expert guidance on what to monitor and how.

Do you find yourself asking…
Network performance reporting is an essential step in network performance monitoring. While network performance monitoring provides real-time performance data for ongoing visibility, network reporting allows you to synthesize specific information in an easily digestible and shareable format.
Network performance reporting can be used and shared internally to gain important, actionable insights. With the help of a network performance report, you can quickly make informed decisions based on both current and historical data and metrics. By examining network reports and viewing capacity usage trends, you may be able to forecast, detect, diagnose, and resolve network issues before outages occur. You can better understand your organization's resource utilization trends and feel confident making decisions around optimizing your IT infrastructure and planning upgrades.
Network performance reporting is also critical for proving compliance with service-level agreements. Many organizations need to ensure they are meeting service-level agreements and quality of service standards, and reports provide a way to gather and view the relevant information. With customizable reports, it’s possible to easily pull and share the right information with specific departments or recipients.
