When a certain service is given in a company, networks are one
of the most important elements to consider. If the network ceases to
function, for whatever reason, and the necessary data is not transmitted, the
company ceases to provide service to customers during the duration of the fall. All
this can cause major problems in a company, causing discomfort in customers
and, in case it happens repeatedly, it is very possible that users decide to
change companies.
For these
reasons, a network monitoring system can make a difference in any company. The
main objective of a system administrator is to ensure that networks are running
at full capacity, 100% of the time. Choosing a suitable network monitoring tool will help us
detect possible problems before a collapse or a network crash is caused.
In order to focus and know what you should consider for network
monitoring, it is important to know how to differentiate between network
monitoring and network management . Network monitoring will allow
you to analyze and view the status of your networks at a basic
level. Meanwhile, network management goes further; It not only allows
you to take actions for management, but it will allow you to take actions to
alleviate the problems of our networks, giving a global vision of all our
systems.
In this article we will start by seeing how basic network
monitoring is performed, to continue with the main features that a network
monitoring system must have.
