TCP Monitor Tool for TCP/IP Traffic
Monitor TCP connections for quality and responsiveness
Discover incoming connections
With the Application Dependencies feature in SolarWinds® Server & Application Monitor (SAM), you can discover relationships between applications and application processes, and connections between applications, application processes, and nodes. When looking for a root cause of a TCP/IP traffic problem, you don’t have to search through many applications, nodes, and component monitors to determine why an application is slow. You can navigate to the incoming connections resource to display application dependencies and quickly pinpoint the source of issues.
Monitor network connections established by applications
When end users experience slow applications, it doesn’t have to be a problem on the systems side. Server & Application Monitor shows you the most important data about TCP connections, like network latency and packet loss. The Connection Details page shows you the entire communication stack from one node to another, which makes it a unique TCP monitoring and troubleshooting tool.
If you want broader visibility, you can easily monitor two or more ports in the same component template with the SAM TCP monitor. You can either create two individual TCP Port Monitors or you can create a Group and add the two component monitors as members.
Comprehensively monitor server hardware health
Get a detailed view of the health status and performance of your multi-vendor server hardware. SAM notifies you before critical TCP server components, such as fan speed, temperature, power supply, CPU, battery, and hard drive status, fail. Quickly identify, resolve, and monitor TCP server hardware issues for Dell PowerEdge, HP ProLiant, IBM eServer xSeries servers, Dell PowerEdge Blade, HP BladeSystem enclosures, Microsoft Windows Server, and VMware vSphere hypervisor.
Keep track of TCP traffic on Linux
With SAM, it’s possible to have Linux monitor TCP traffic. With SolarWinds TCP port monitoring software, keeping track of TCP connections on Linux is simple.
If you want to monitor systems using the Orion® agent for Linux instead of SNMP, all you have to do is deploy agents to your monitored target nodes and then configure your target systems. If you’re using Orion for Linux, supply the port and the component monitor will test the ability of TCP/IP-based services to accept any incoming sessions.

Do you find yourself asking…
TCP/IP monitoring is the process of monitoring the TCP/IP communication protocol and its associated traffic to ensure your network connections are functioning properly.
To understand TCP monitoring, you first need to understand the TCP/IP communication protocols. The protocols are used to facilitate communication over the internet between physically separated computer systems without any compatibility issues. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP) are both effective and popular protocols that work as the layer of abstraction between the routing/switching fabric and applications. They also determine how your packets will be transmitted, addressed, routed, and received at their eventual destinations.
A TCP monitor ensures this communication process goes off without a hitch. The TCP monitoring process typically consists of three stages:
- Discovery: First you need to pull information about your network, devices, and IP addresses to create a clear picture of your network traffic. Tools like Server & Application Monitor can create a visual map of the network.
- Monitoring: Next it’s time to start routinely monitoring the network traffic connections established by your applications to discover any performance issues.
- Troubleshooting: Finally, it’s time to resolve any issues that come up using the information collected by your TCP monitor.
