Monitor Router Traffic
Monitor router traffic for a variety of vendors in one dashboard
Automatically discover network routers and display connections with a router traffic monitor
SolarWinds® Network Performance Monitor (NPM) includes the easy-to-use Network Sonar Wizard, which walks you through discovering objects for monitoring. NPM provides the number of interfaces on which you can monitor network traffic after automated discovery or the manual addition of a parent node.
Use NPM’s Discovery Central as a router traffic monitor to gain a centralized overview of the types and number of routers you’re monitoring with your currently installed SolarWinds products.
Create intelligent network alerts with group dependencies to organize your routers
Network Performance Monitor's intelligent network alerts include conditional group dependencies and allow you to logically group connected routers and/or interfaces together.
With these intelligent dependencies, you can receive a single critical alert if your core router goes down—instead of an onslaught of hundreds of alerts for each of the downstream devices and interfaces. With streamlined alerts, you can more quickly understand what’s down and what’s simply unreachable.
Group routers by category to better understand network performance
Simplify monitoring for large and complex IT environments by using SolarWinds router monitoring software to easily group routers according to virtually any category.
With dynamic service groups, you can monitor and aggregate views of routers according to services such as email, location, department, or manufacturer to roll up service-level status across your business. Pair redundant links to quickly determine if one is up or both are down. This can help you quickly determine the real impact of network issues.

Do you find yourself asking…
Router monitoring is the process of tracking router traffic and monitoring router status to maintain network performance and reduce the likelihood of network outages. Router monitoring is a form of network traffic monitoring focused on router function and the information traveling through your routers.
The devices on your network constantly send traffic back and forth to access online services and connect with other devices. When devices communicate across a network, they send information to each other in the form of packets. Routers analyze the contents of those packets and determine the destinations and routes for the data.
Packet traffic can provide a lot of information about your network performance. Monitoring router traffic can give you quick insight into network availability, uptime, and latency, so you can better optimize network performance. Overall, making sure routers are performing as expected helps you ensure your entire network functions effectively.
