SNAPPiMON / SNAPPiMON for Network Monitoring
SNAPPiMON
- As a Network Intelligence Tool
SNAPPiMON delivers near time availability & performance information, historical performance views, graphical topology, business views, SLA reports and many more out-of-the-box reports to monitor and manage your local area and wide area network infrastructure. Elements covered include routers, switches, systems and data links.
| Topology Views: |
Powerful KPIs and Templates: |
| SNAPPiMON presents topology views both for business and technical users. Users can check availability or performance of specific KPIs of target elements in real time. The organized views could be saved reducing access time for future visits. SNAPPiMON has inbuilt powerful network discovery and configure options to jump start deployment. |
Installations may choose from hundreds of indicators/ counters available in the standard MIBs and system parameters for monitoring. Thresholds could be set for alerting as well as modes of alerting. Templates can field customized to meet site specific needs. |
| Deep Insight and Analysis: |
Application Usage Metering (Bolt-on Module): |
Using the high level availability summary,
users will be able to drill-down to the desired level of detail and
examine the root cause of the issue. Typical out-of-the box reports available include:
• Network & subnet discovery report
• Standard dashboard for networks
• Standard dashboard systems
• Custom dashboard networks
• Custom dashboard systems
• Real time monitor
• Open alarms
• Network availability
• Network performance
• Event cause report
• MTBF report
• SLA report
• Element fault report
|
• Application usage can be determined by service, by user groups (logical groups e.g. departments) and by users within the group.
• IPMeter monitors the application traffic between devices in the network and then aggregates to calculate application usage.
• The traffic between several user groups can be compared with respect to usage of applications in the network; this can help in accounting/ billing.

Highlights
- Availability service based on ICMP to monitor the
availability status and response times or the network latency with respect to
the manager.
- Trend service allows for monitoring SNMP parameters
for specific objects in the network.
- SNAPPiMON provides out-of-the-box around 15 standard
MIB expressions that report on network statistics.
- SNAPPiMON supports RFC 1155 and RFC 1213 MIBs out of
the box.
- Configuration of components as objects include,
Routers (forwarding-devices), Links, Subnets, other devices like servers &
desktops.
- Packet size, the frequency and the number of polling
attempts are configurable for availability and trend.
- Allows upload of additional MIB files and to map the
objects to specific MIB’s through the MIB upload screen (from anywhere on the
web).
- Expression builder enables custom addition of MIB
expressions to create custom trend parameters from basic parameters.
- Expression counters provide you the details of an
expression and the unit of measure. This also allows you to define the
frequency of measure as well as if events have to be generated for that
expression.
- L2 switch monitoring and port wise reporting.
- SNMP traps handling and reporting as alerts in
SNAPPiMON
- Supports Natting of IP addressesAgent-less monitoring of heterogeneous Mail Servers
Event Correlation
SNAPPiMON manages dependencies between the entire chain of network components, servers and applications. This information is utilized in correlation of events and alarms – enabling quick identification of problem and resolution.
- Correlation between data components for rapid problem
isolation and resolution.
- Correlation of events and alarms, management of
cascaded failures.
- Correlation interval during which all the event
states get resolved – avoids excessive notification.
- Correlates current values against threshold value for each parameter.
Others
- Configurable business hours
- Automatic distribution of reports
- Reports in html, PDF and MS Excel formats
Benefits
- Reduced incident and problem resolution times leading
to improved user satisfaction
- Proactive monitoring leading to outage prevention as
well as capacity planning
- Improved SLA baselining leading to improved service
responsiveness
- 360 degree view of network infrastructure leading to
fact based decision making
- Reduced network and systems administration costs and lowered TCO
