Monitor hardware health with robust network device monitoring software

SolarWinds® Network Performance Monitor (NPM) is built to provide hardware health overviews for your monitored devices—which is essential for managing the life cycles of servers, switches, routers, and other critical infrastructure. Using network device monitoring software, you can quickly view the current node count, filter by device status (classified as Up, Warning, Critical, and Undefined), and drill down to find unavailable or offline nodes. NPM also allows you to compare current performance to historical data, helping you proactively monitor devices for issues.

Drill down to view specific nodes with ease

When a device triggers an alert message, you need to be ready to step in at a moment’s notice. The simple and intuitive dashboard in NPM allows you to navigate from monitoring your entire infrastructure to drilling down into the selected node in critical status to view device details. Quickly view device information, including current node status, device information, average response time, packet loss, and other critical metrics in just a few clicks.

Get real-time performance details and historical data

Some performance issues can be immediately detected while others take time to fully emerge. NPM provides granular, minute-by-minute visibility into real-time performance problems and can allow you to analyze performance and hardware health data using historical benchmarks. Plus, the smart alerts system can be configured to send notifications in response to device errors, faults, shutdowns, and other events, allowing you to respond as soon as an issue is detected.

Correlate network performance and device monitoring data

NPM can help you track historical network data and correlate performance with hardware statuses. By isolating hardware issues, you can more quickly find a temporary workaround or work to replace the network device to reinstate normal network service availability. You can also use the included deep packet inspection features in NPM to track network performance. For an even more contextual overview of performance, you can also use the PerfStack dashboard to cross-correlate metrics across your environment.

Quickly discover network devices to start monitoring right away

Before you can start monitoring, you need to discover network devices. NPM includes an SNMP-based device scanner that regularly runs network discoveries and creates a comprehensive inventory. This information allows you to create a network topology map that can automatically update when new devices are added to your network. You can also use the dynamic topology map to visually scan for problem devices and quickly drill down for further information.
