Router Monitoring Feature in ManageEngine MSP Center Plus
Why is WAN Monitoring important?
WAN links are usually the most expensive part of the network,
and managing bandwidth allocation can be complex. Oversubscribing
to bandwidth could mean that the company is paying for more
bandwidth than required, and undersubscribing could result
in congestion and unacceptable network performance. WAN Monitoring
and Router Monitoring thus become very critical. Network managers
need to optimize the quality of service by balancing throughput,
committed information rate (CIR) and burst rate with congestion,
response time, and discards.
WAN Monitoring Challenges
- Optimizing bandwidth allocation
- Ensuring high network availability
- Quick resolution of WAN problems
- Capacity Planning for future requirements
- Minimizing recurring costs on WAN links
- Identifying high traffic/utilization sources

MSP Center Plus WAN Monitoring Features
Optimize Bandwidth Allocation - Measure
Bandwidth Utilization and Traffic
MSP Center Plus helps you
monitor and troubleshoot WAN links for traffic, utilization,
errors and Service Level Agreement (SLA) verification. By
presenting accurate information on traffic and utilization
MSP Center Plus helps you optimize bandwidth allocation.
- Monitor link utilization and traffic with threshold alerts
- Identify highly utilized and under-utilized links
- Get alerted when interfaces start discarding packets

Ensure High Network Availability - Monitor WAN Links Proactively
With MSP Center Plus you can create business views (maps)
to graphically visualize your entire WAN. MSP Center Plus
can automatically send alerts when a link goes down.
Avoid downtimes by identifying degradations early by proactively
monitoring network latency with threshold alerts.
MSP Center Pluss reporting functionality also
provides you with a detailed availability report of all your
interfaces. You can use these reports to ensure that your
SLAs are being met.

Resolve WAN Problems Quickly - Monitor Router Performance
Optimal router performance is critical for superior
WAN performance. When your network experiences congestion,
MSP Center Plus helps you quickly resolve problems by providing
visibility into critical router performance variables
like
- CPU Utilization
- Memory Utilization
- Errors and Discards
- Voltage, Temperature etc
- Buffer statistics (Hits, misses and failures) Also using
MSP Center Plus's custom SNMP monitors, you can monitor several
critical performance metrics provided by your router vendor
Identify Traffic Trends - Minimize Current Recurring Costs
and Plan Capacity for the Future
MSP Center Plus helps network managers save on monthly recurring
costs by identifying underutilized links.
Armed with traffic trend charts and link utilization reports
network managers can plan for additional capacity well in
advance.
Identify High Traffic, High Utilization Sources
If you are seeing abnormally high traffic / utilization,
you can now find out why. Get detailed traffic analysis in
MSP Center Plus by integrating it with ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer.
Know which users or applications are using your bandwidth
and see who the top talkers are.
