Network Monitoring Software FAQs

What is network monitoring?

Network monitoring involves the continuous surveilling of computer networks to detect issues like slow traffic or component failure as well as alerting administrators to these issues to prevent disruptions and prolonged downtime.

Why is network monitoring important?

Its primary use is for pointing out potential performance issues and bottlenecks before they happen. Human error and configuration issues typically go hand in hand, and commonly result in minor performance issues that snowball and result in network outages and disruptions. A lack of network visibility is another dangerous side effect that comes with an absence of network monitoring. A survey by Forrester indicated that 81% of IT leaders believe network visibility is essential for strong network security and response.

How does network monitoring software work?

Network monitoring software works by sending requests and queries to network devices and assets and then reporting the results. Every NMS uses a different way of querying devices, but regardless of whether that’s Ping, ICMP, or SNMP, all communications are protocol based. When querying devices, the NMS requests information using management information base (MIBS) or object identifiers (OID) in order to retrieve distinct metrics that support performance data. The NMS then presents this information via the software’s interface.

How can network monitoring tools help optimize networks and troubleshoot issues?

The key to optimizing any network is first establishing performance baselines. This is instrumental in determining what protocols or infrastructure to adjust to keep performance at an optimal level. Understanding behaviors of devices and making sure they’re not hitting certain thresholds or alarms helps the operator maximize that information and get a better idea of where the network needs to be.

Regarding troubleshooting, whether you're dealing with a configuration error or an abnormal traffic fluctuation, network monitoring software helps you get to the bottom of issues quickly. Live network maps lead you to the origin of problems, and status windows give you performance metrics over time. Also, network automation tools help you go one step further. Not only can you identify problems via network monitoring, but you can fix them automatically, without having to get a person involved.

What types of network devices can Intermapper find and monitor?

Intermapper can monitor any device that supports IP technology and is currently broadcasting. Intermapper sends out requests and queries based on IP technology, so if the device does in fact support IP technology, then Intermapper will be able to find, map, and monitor it.

How can I get started with Intermapper? What are its licensing models?

Downloading a free trial of Intermapper is the first place that most people get started. Deploying Intermapper’s free trial is a very easy and intuitive process that takes just minutes and essentially only requires you to identify the IP addresses that you would like to monitor. From there, you can make modifications based on your preferences, ideal baselines, and what you would like to measure specifically. If you do decide you would like to purchase an Intermapper license, you will be able to keep everything that you’ve done in the trial version.

Intermapper’s licensing structure is much different from other monitoring solutions in that it is straightforward and based on the number of IP’s you want to monitor rather than the amount of functions and sensors you would like to have available to you.
