Network Performance Monitoring
End-to-end visibility into on-prem and cloud networks, including application-layer performance and the health of bare-metal appliances.
Act on real-time network insights
- Use visualizations of network traffic across applications, containers, availability zones, and datacenters to help optimize your migrations.
- Track key network metrics, such as TCP retransmits, latency, and connection churn.
- Monitor the health of traffic between any two endpoints at the app, IP address, port, or process ID (PID) layers.
See what matters—not just IP addresses
- View communication between services, pods, cloud regions, and cloud resources.
- Isolate network issues in your Envoy-powered service mesh and troubleshoot inefficient load balancing.
- Manage cloud networking costs by pinpointing the services and teams responsible for large traffic spikes.
Gain deep DNS visibility
- Analyze system-wide DNS performance without having to SSH into individual machines.
- Assess DNS server health with request-volume, response-time, and error-code metrics.
- Distinguish between client-side errors and server-side failures.
Monitor connections to cloud services
- Observe and analyze traffic to Amazon S3, Amazon Elastic Load Balancing (ELB),GCP BigQuery, and other managed cloud services.
- Filter down into subcomponents such as specific S3 buckets or RDS databases for more granular insights.
- Pivot to integration metrics to determine if an issue lies with a cloud provider or originates from your systems.

Network Device Monitoring
Unified health monitoring, troubleshooting, and capacity planning for network equipment.
View stats on any interface, on any device, on any network
- Automatically discover and collect metrics on your network from any device, including those from Cisco, Palo Alto, Dell, F5, Juniper, and other leading brands.
- Monitor even the largest environments with a highly scalable and lightweight agent.
- Take inventory with a complete list of all your network hardware.
Quickly expose performance with next-level tooling
- Search for devices and then drill down to view the performance of specific interfaces with a single click.
- Create custom dashboards with drag-and-drop widgets to help you evaluate device performance at a glance.
- Filter device data according to helpful parameters, such as location.
Get full visibility into traffic flows for troubleshooting and capacity planning
- Collect network flow data in common formats and standards including Netflow, IPFIX, sFlow, and J-Flow.
- Filter network flow data by key information including volume, IP address, protocol, TCP/UDP source/destination port, and other out-of-the-box and custom tags.
- Easily surface top talkers and rates of TCP flags such as RST, SYN, ACK, PSF, FIN, and URG.
Identify device-level problems with SNMP Traps
- Drill down into individual devices to see its SNMP Trap history.
- Speed up troubleshooting with access to full Trap context, including Trap name, OID, namespace, admin status, and more.
- Create monitors on specific SNMP Trap events to get alerted to device issues as soon as they occur.
Detect issues faster through advanced alerting
- Rely on anomaly detection to quickly spot a malfunctioning device.
- Use forecasting to determine when interfaces will exceed their available bandwidth.
- Quickly configure alerts on many devices or interfaces at once.
Reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR)
- Correlate issues between network and application teams thanks to an all-in-one tool.
- Consolidate all your network monitoring needs into a single pane of glass.
- Collaborate across teams, move faster, and solve problems more efficiently.
Troubleshoot network problems and create alerts using syslog messages
- Retain device logs for root cause analysis and compliance.
- See syslog messages in the context of other events for improved troubleshooting.
- Set syslog-based monitors on specific SNMP trap names or other elements of the syslog record.
