Network Uptime Monitor
Maintain network and device uptime with monitoring software
Increase service levels and reduce downtime with a network uptime monitor
Making sure a network and its devices are up and running is essential for any business. SolarWinds® Network Performance Monitor (NPM) offers multi-vendor network uptime monitoring solutions to help you reduce downtime and ensure business service delivery. With fault, performance, and availability monitoring, NPM provides effective cross-stack network data correlation, hop-by-hop network path analysis, and much more.
Additionally, the capacity forecasting, alerting, and reporting feature in NPM uses customizable thresholds based on peak and average usage to automatically calculate exhaustion dates.
Advanced reporting and alerting for improved uptime monitoring
Using intelligent alerting, NPM allows you to identify notable changes to your network uptime. NPM offers hundreds of prepackaged alerts for network performance metrics, which include uptime metrics and unusual performance delays. In addition to out-of-the-box uptime alerts, you can create custom alerts for your specific network monitoring needs.
The advanced alerting and reporting capabilities in NPM allow you to decide when and where you get alerts—and who is the recipient. By defining alert conditions with NPM’s notification software, you can define the conditions of your alerts, create trigger conditions, and specify which of your team members will receive a notification.
Visualize network performance with hop-by-hop path analysis
With the user-friendly NetPath™ feature, Network Performance Monitor can make it easier to get your network back up and running after a bottleneck. Visualized data allows you to quickly gain hop-by-hop insight into what’s occurring both inside and outside the network with detailed insight into performance, traffic, and configuration.
With NetPath, network admins can quickly determine your network’s mean-time-to-innocence, so you can contact external network providers when they are having issues that affect your ability to achieve internet connectivity.
Correlate data and quickly troubleshoot to reduce network downtime
When downtime occurs, addressing the issue quickly is crucial for maintaining business productivity. The network uptime monitor in SolarWinds NPM is built to help you expedite the troubleshooting process by facilitating data correlation. With NPM, you can use cross-stack network data correlation to accelerate root cause identification—simply drag and drop network performance metrics on a common timeline, and gain immediate visual insight into your network data.
NPM allows you to automatically map devices, performance metrics, link utilization, and wireless coverage, so you have a clear view of everything occurring in your network. Using automated data correlation, you can troubleshoot outages or other issues before they affect client networks and your business.
Get More on Network Uptime Monitoring
Do you find yourself asking…
Network uptime monitoring is defined as the process of determining how often the various elements of your network are working (up) or not working (down). Uptime is typically measured on a scale from 1 to 100 percent, where the higher your uptime number is, the more often your devices are available and functioning correctly.
Keeping track of network device uptime and downtime can help you understand your network better and improve performance. Boosting network performance is essential for any organization, as downtime can result in unhappy end users who leave your websites due to slow load times, or network users who are unable to do their work.
Network uptime monitoring involves keeping track of the elements in your network that can contribute to downtime. Some of the most common downtime issues a network can experience include server failures, network outages, power outages, application errors, user surges or spikes, storage failures, and human errors.
Manually monitoring uptime can be challenging, and lacking visibility outside your network can impede your ability to identify potential issues.
Using uptime monitoring software can help you more easily track key metrics to troubleshoot outages, generate downtime reports, and automatically alert you when performance problems require your attention more easily.
