SNMP monitoring in real time provides the data
necessary to determine how well a network is performing, what type of
events are happening, and the status of the infrastructure components.
The graphical data can be interpreted and analyzed
to assist your IT staff in measuring performance and status on a daily
basis, as well as providing the necessary measurements 24 hours a day in
readable weekly, monthly and annual summaries.
As the SNMP service monitors your infrastructure, it
can measure individual data with previously established baselines.
In the even that data drops below or exceeds an established baseline, the
service can respond with application responses, email notification,
exterior database input, or immediate engineer site response.
SNMP on your network can measure things like
bandwidth going through your routers and switches, it can also be used to
measure server capacities such as memory, storage space, and user
activities. In firewalls it can measure events like rejected traffic
vs pass through traffic, or any special event that can take place.
It can even measure port usage and VPN tunnels. Any data either numerical
or true/false can be measured and stored over a historical timeframe.
Manufacturers are constantly upgrading their equipment and software and
support for the SNMP standard which is prevalent in the industry.
Node-Event-Alarm-Response
All data collected is measured in GMT time so that
events in multiple time zones can be correlated. All graphs are
shown in real time and their offset to GMT. During the collection of data
phase, mathematical operations can be conducted on multiple measurements
and nodes. For example several measurements throughout your
infrastructure can lead to total bandwidth summary reports, or total
resource consumption reports. Data from NetQA can easily be integrated
with change management systems and node management systems
NetQA creates a custom index to all of the monitored
components, and a secondary index to all customized components. Moving
from device to device is as easy as clicking its link, or the custom
report in the custom index.
