Network Performance Monitoring

■(Once a device is discovered RuggedNMS will start polling the discovered devices on a configurable time basis

■(The polling sub-system is used to monitor all

discovered devices ■(Through the use of device polling, SNMP MIB data will be

captured, stored in a database and presented in reports ■(If communications to a device is lost the polling sub-system will

intelligently attempt to re-establish communications

■(Real-time monitoring and calculation of availability of services

such as SNMP, SSH, Telnet and HTTP ■(Provides clear and concise view of services right from the

main screen and on each node screen

■(The NMS pollers can be centrally or remotely deployed

to reduce network traffic ■(The central data retention and reporting system is able to

communicate with multiple pollers ■(The Web interface and database can be deployed

on different machines

■(Tiered event Notification (Critical, Major, Minor, Warning,

Indeterminate, Normal, Cleared) ■(Notifications based on any event (nodeUp/nodeDown, service

Up/serviceDown, SNMP traps, thresholds, etc) can be generated ■(Display the events currently in the database via the web-based

User Interface

■(Notifications can be sent via email, pager, custom programs or shell scripts, XMPP (Jabber instant messaging), SNMP traps, HTTP or XML-RPC requests, and user-defined notification methods can be written in Java(

■(View pre-defined graphs of the various data obtained

by the RuggedNMS Data Collection features (including

Response Times) ■(Create ad-hoc graphs on arbitrary collected data values

using a simple web-gui ■(Reports in a graphical format can be generated on the fly ■(Historical information will be included in the reports for

comparison and decision making purposes

■(Quick detection of network failures at the port and device levels Monitor and Report Interface Statistics

■(SNMP MIB information gathered for all interfaces is available for review gather performance metrics without the need to instrument a custom SNMP gatherer

■(Web based UI with graphical network view

■(Configurable auto discovery and polling subsystem

■(Rich set of pre-packaged reports

■(Option to bundle the RuggedNMS on a dedicated "appliance"

that will act as a centralized server (pre-installed and ready to

go "out-of-the-box") ■(Event handling via polling and SNMP trap support ■(interfaces for equipment configuration via external applications

such as Web Browser and TELNET ■(Scalable price depending on the number of IP address nodes

in the network

■(Supporting the use of SNMP v1, v2c and v3 (SNMP Security) Web Based User Interface

■(Customizable Dashboard per customer requirements ■(Easy navigation to events and nodes with issues ■(View and edit Asset information ■(Multiple report selections

■(Administration and configuration of many parts of RuggedNMS Automated Network Discovery

■(Discovers all the devices on a network or devices in a selected

Baselining and Thresholding ■(Configurable network baselining and monitoring
