    Network Monitoring Tools

    Uploaded by

    Network monitoring refers to the use of a system that constantly monitors a computer network for slow or failing systems and notifies the network administrator of any outages. It is a subset of network management and involves measuring metrics like latency, packet loss, and availability to monitor network performance and detect problems. Common network monitoring tools include the ping program, SNMP servers, Nagios, MRTG, and various other commercial and open-source solutions. Both active and passive monitoring methods are used to collect data with passive monitoring utilizing network traffic analysis.

    concerned with performing repairs and upgrades£for
    example, when equipment must be replaced, when a router
    needs a patch for an operating system image, when a new
    switch is added to a network. Maintenance also involves
    corrective and preventive measures to make the managed
    network run "better", such as adjusting device
    configuration parameters.

       describes the use of a
    system that constantly monitors a computer network for
    slow or failing systems and that notifies the network
    administrator in case of outages via email, pager or other
    alarms. It is a subset of the functions involved in network
    management.
     | ! 
        is the
    process of measuring the amount and type of traffic on a
    particular network. This is especially important with regard
    to effective bandwidth management.

     Availability: The percentage of a specified time interval
    during which the system was available for normal use.
    -[onnectivity: the physical connectivity of network elements.
    -Functionality: whether the associated system works well or not.

     Latency: The time taken for a packet to travel from a host


    to another.
    -Round Trip Delay = Forward transport delay + server delay +
    backward transport delay
    -Ping is still the most commonly used to measure latency.

     Link Utilization over a specified interval is simply the


    throughput for the link expressed as a percentage of the
    access rate.
