Network Monitoring

NetDecision Network Manager is a network monitoring software that provides automatic discovery of your IP network, groups your devices into a graphical topology and monitors devices in real-time.

With NetDecision Network Manager organizations can collect real-time data from across the IT infrastructure, consolidate this data into a real-time management front end, analyze the data and automate responses, and inform other key individuals, systems, and processes immediately about service-affecting IT problems.

NetDecision Performance Vision provides out-of-the-box graphs and dashboards for CPU utilization, memory usage, disk space usage, interface utilization, service response times, interface errors etc. This helps users gain better visibility into the performance of servers, routers and switches and the overall network.

How to Select an SNMP Trap Management System

Here's a handy checklist of essential features you should look for in SNMP trap management. Print this checklist out and use it to rate the SNMP trap managers you're evaluating. If an SNMP trap manager can't meet these basic requirements, cross it off your list.

Complete Alarm collection and device management: Don't settle for a limited SNMP trap management system. Get multi protocol support for every monitoring device in your network in addition to SNMP.
Alarm presentation and notification: Send detailed alarm descriptions and correction instructions to NOC and field techs via SMS (Mobile phone) notifications and emails. SMS and e-mail notifications let your field techs respond to alarms while they're still in the field, speeding repairs and reducing windshield time. Look for an SNMP trap manager system with SMS support, which can send detailed alarm notifications to alpha pagers, cell phones, and PDAs.
Alarm sorting and analysis: Make sense of alarm cascades with automatic intelligent alarm sorting, filtering and processing.
Maintain a list of standing alarms: SNMP trap management must maintain a list of standing alarms and not just log newly reported or acknowledged traps. Imagine what would happen to your network if a system operator acknowledged an alarm, and then failed to correct the alarm condition. Who would know the alarm was still standing? No one!
Detailed, precise alarm descriptions: SNMP alarm monitoring systems should record the time, location, severity, and a precise description of alarm events
Nuisance alarm filtering: Even the best NOC staff stops taking alarms seriously if they're bombarded with status alerts, oscillating conditions, and unimportant alarms. Look for an SNMP trap manager system that filters these out.
Alarm sorting: A large, complex network can create a cascade of alarms. Some are unimportant, but others are critical. Look for an SNMP trap manager system that can automatically sort and prioritize this flood of information for you.
Alarm correction instructions: Detailed instructions included in alarm notifications ensure that system operators, without extra training, will know precisely what to do and who to call if an alarm happens.
