Enhancing Network Stability with Network Monitoring Systems
Network Monitoring System
OVERVIEW
Network monitoring is a part of network management. There
is Vendor-agnostic way to monitor parameters like device
Availability, CPU process, memory utilization, bandwidth
Utilization, Rx, Tx etc. directly as well as through user-created
VLANs.
The system proactively finds performance issues and
bottleneck at the initial stage. Network administrator is kept
updated through E-mail, SMS or other alarm systems. Effective
proactive monitoring prevents network downtime or failures.
Critical devices like switches, routers and servers performs key
tasks. Hence, requires constant monitoring for specific
parameters. NMS acts as
nerve center
for entire
infrastructure.
Factors Deciding an Effective Network System
OEM:
Finalizing the best
OEM for the equipment
associated with network
system. Best OEM
ensures longevity of the
equipment and
resistance to daily tear
and wear.
System Integrator:
Selecting a SI with a
proven mettle in the
field of network system.
Choosing foremost SI
assures uninterrupted
operation.
SLA
:
Service level
agreement providing up
time of 95% for end
equipment and 99% for
control room.
Contract Finalization:
Signing of contract with
handpicked SI for SOW,
warranty and AMC support
.
Are these factors enough to ensure a robust system?

Or are there
any grey
areas?
Grey areas are analogous to tip
of the iceberg. Looks harmless
from a distance but pose great
challenge in the long run.
Hence, it becomes imperative
to have a centralized
monitoring system like NMS to
address the grey areas.

Surface

Iceberg Principle
Low productivity:
Absence
of
a
central watchdog, results
in unexpected failure or fault
of device resulting in
decreased productivity.
Low Efficiency:
Lower
productivity or up time leads to
undesired output level.
Lower
output level causes efficiency
of a device to plummet
drastically.
Financial Strain:
Irregularities,
network failure, device fault etc. can
seriously affect the livelihood of a
business. Reactive monitoring results in
a loss of thousands if not millions of
dollars in revenue and productivity.
Low Resource Optimization:
Optimization of existing resources is
essential for achieving desired goal.
With lower device uptime
optimization takes a backseat.
Bulk of the problem is
not visible at plain
sight and hidden
beneath the surface
Reasons for Opting NMS
Passive Monitoring:
With passive
monitoring, if a failure or regularity is
detected, user is immediately informed
via messages. In absence of passive
monitoring , user will have to look himself
for faults.
Advance Planning:
Planning for
change is made easy with NMS. If a device
or hardware is continuously witnessing fault,
it is time for the device to be changed.
Hence, advance planning can be made.
Remedy for Disaster:
Immediate
notifications provides enough back up time
for resolution, In absence of a central
monitoring time loss could result in a mishap
or disaster.
Increased Uptime:
Continuous
monitoring maximizes network availability
by taking corrective actions in case of
outages and fault occurrence.
Maximizes Business Savings:
NMS
provides faster resolution with instant
alerts eliminating the need for manual
checkups. Having a NMS avoids the need
for a complex and expensive systems. This
results in cost savings and revenue
building.
Ensure Continuity of Security System:
Massive amount is spent on security and
surveillance system. However, the whole
purpose is defeated if the system witness
frequent blackout. NMS ensures
continuity of operation by detecting and
resolving the fault.
Justify Equipment Grade
:
Making a
change based on intuition may not be
feasible in the long run. However, based
on report history, decision to upgrade or
change makes a better sense.
Gain immediate ROI:
NMS
considerably reduces tedious
troubleshooting time. This results in
personnel and resources focusing on
core areas of business. With increased
productivity comes the profit and
hefty return on investment.
Bridging the Feature gaps:
Networks
are getting complex with each
passing day. To ensure tight
integration between the
components, it is imperative to have
a system which is woven deep within
the fabric of the network itself. NMS
takes care of all this.
Aspects Of NMS
Discovery:
NMS does automatic
scanning of all the network
devices via multiple
protocols.
There
is
a
library of monitoring
templates that defines the way to
monitor a device. Visualization is
generated of the physical and
virtual network connectivity
.
MAP
:
NMS generates a color-
coded network maps which is a
powerful tool that enables the user
to visualize the network.
A clean and orderly layout of
the
wiring closet is represented.
Monitoring:
360° monitoring of network
infrastructure is done through a single
dashboard. Network admin can modify
device role or create new ones from the
scratch. Monitoring is performed by
sending watchdog messages to host
over the network for verification
Notifications
:
Latest notifications like
new device on the network, IP change
for
MAC
address,
device change for IP,
new device on IP, new connection on IP
and change in MAC&IP can be seen
under notification icon. USER
can add,
ignore or resolve the new device
on
the
network.
Alerts:
Notifications are sent to
admin and concerned user via e-
mail, text and logging. Threshold
limit is set for triggering alarm
systems in order to alert the user or
admin. Investigation is done
proactively so that user or admin
can take corrective actions before
the device fails altogether. Alerts
are generally sent after polling of
network devices for its respective
status are performed.
Reports:
It provides immediate detail
of down
device.
The
report
of
down
device can be viewed on different
duration ranging from 1 hour to 7
days. Report can be generated
in
file
formats
like
CSV, excel and pdf.
Details of the down devices like
name, IP address and parent switch
connection are also
available
.
