NimBUS for Network Monitoring: A Nimsoft Service Level Management Solution White Paper

Tags:
monitoring systems

Overview The NimBUS for Network Monitoring solution verifies network connectivity to devices and application services revealing accessibility and network latency. The solution auto-discovers network interfaces, monitors interface traffic and calculates bandwidth utilization. Interface variables are polled for status data and the solution receives unsolicited SNMP traps. Syslog monitoring is supported for non-SNMP devices. Status data is analyzed and displayed in graphical alarm consoles, performance reports and SLA reports.
