NetWatch

If you are unhappy with the devices you have added, clicking on the ‘Reset Device List’ button will clear the list. Once you have loaded your device(s) you may proceed to step 2 by clicking the ‘Next’ button.

Step 2. Select Service Types

This step involves selecting the types of NetWatch service that you wish to use to monitor the device(s). There are four individual service types:

Ping

A simple ping operation to test whether or not the device is responding. Response time for the operation can also be recorded. An alert can be triggered when the ping status changes or if response time exceeds a threshold.

TCP Port Test

Selected TCP ports are tested for status. For example, you may wish to monitor the status of the SMTP port on your mail server. This test makes sure that connections can be made to that port and records when it changes status. Configuration allows you to set up multiple profiles for monitoring commonly used groups of ports. Alerts can be triggered when ports change status, or if response time exceeds the configured threshold.

SNMP Interface Test

Interfaces on the device are polled for status, utilisation and response time. Status changes are recorded as well as, optionally, detailed utilisation statistics and SNMP request response time, both of which can be graphed. Alerting occurs on status change, response time and on utilisation levels. Note that an SNMP community string is required.

SNMP Trap Reception

Generic SNMP Traps are received and recorded. Note that only traps and notifications from devices configured with this service type will be recorded. An alert can be triggered when a trap is received. At the current version, only the six generic traps are received: Cold Start, Warm Start, Link Up, Link Down, Authentication Failure and EGP Neighbour Loss.
