Free Network Monitoring Tool

- Unlock the Power of Cisco® IP SLA on Your Network. Even a network superhero like you has blind spots. You’re in complete command of your network devices, but the users under your protection are always uncovering hidden bottlenecks between sites. How are those remote sites communicating with each other out in the network – and is that Web traffic performing well between San Francisco and Sao Paolo? Cisco® IP SLA holds the secrets, and with SolarWinds free IP SLA Monitor you can master them.

Cisco developed IP SLA technology as part of their IOS software, enabling you to analyze IP service levels for network-based applications and services. IP SLA technology measures the round trip time (RTT) of network services and communications between devices to give you a better measurement of your network’s true performance. Implementing IP SLA commands manually can be challenging, but SolarWinds IP SLA Monitor does the heavy lifting for you.

IP SLA Monitor enables IP SLA on Cisco routers and switches, configures the path-specific operation details, and displays the resulting real-time performance information in an easy-to-read dashboard. IP SLA Monitor’s intuitive interface allows you to easily monitor common IP SLA operations, including UDP echo, ICMP path echo (ping), TCP connect, DNS resolution, and HTTP.

Even better, you can import IP SLA monitors into Orion Network Performance Monitor to get a more complete view of your network’s health. With Orion NPM, you can track IP SLA trends, create powerful alerts, and monitor and report on the performance between devices anywhere on your network. It’s easy to automatically create and export a Universal Device Poller (UnDP) within IP SLA Monitor that can be seamlessly used in Orion NPM to do all of this and more.

SolarWinds free IP SLA Monitor makes it easy to:

• Analyze performance between a Cisco IP SLA-enabled device and other remote devices
• Monitor common IP SLA operations, including UDP echo, ICMP path echo (ping), TCP connect time, DNS resolution, and HTTP response
• Create and export a Universal Device Poller (UnDP) to monitor path-specific IP SLA performance in Orion Network Performance Monitor
• Verify and monitor quality of service (QoS)
• View IP SLA operation details, including frequency, source and target, operation type, and Type of Service (ToS) settings
• Prevent performance degradation by watching threshold-specific indicators to visually alert you when a performance problem occurs
