Network Monitoring and Management

This service is specifically designed to empower our member institutions with comprehensive tools to oversee and enhance their network connectivity. It is is essential for maintaining the highest standards of network performance, availability, and reliability, crucial for supporting the demanding needs of research and educational activities.

We understand that continuous monitoring and proactive management of network health are vital for academic institutions to leverage their connectivity effectively. To facilitate this, we employ advanced monitoring tools tailored to the unique requirements of our academic network environment:

1. Nagios: Utilized for monitoring network availability, Nagios ensures that our members are always aware of the operational status of their network connections, enabling quick detection and resolution of any issues.
2. Cacti and Zabbix: These tools are integral for performance monitoring, providing detailed insights into network traffic, usage patterns, and system performance. They help institutions optimize their resources and improve their network efficiency.
3. Smokeping: Focuses on measuring network reliability, Smokeping offers visualization of network latency, helping institutions to assess the quality of their connectivity and troubleshoot any persisting fluctuations or disruptions.

Through these tools, members can view real-time data regarding their network consumption,performance metrics, and reliability indicators. This transparency not only ensures that institutions can maintain optimal network performance but also supports adherence to our Service Level Agreements (SLA), guaranteeing a certain standard of service delivery and uptime
