Improving the general monitoring system
Christopher M. Tongen, Michael Stinson · 2010
Monitoring network devices is critical to avoid downtime in an organization from solvable technical problems. Available methods to monitor hardware are often lacking in areas such as data gathering and visual representation of that data. Gathering accurate measurements at a consistent rate is important for identifying and solving problems. Interpretation of the results is also vital. Visually based data representation has become a standard methodology for many users, as it allows quick analysis of gathered measurements. This paper offers a solution that provides improved device handling as well as an improved visual representation of results from network devices, and increased speed in the data gathering process.
