FAQs
What is network device monitoring and why is it important?
What is network device monitoring and why is it important?
Network device monitoring is a comprehensive approach to tracking and managing all network-connected devices, including routers, switches, firewalls, printers, and UPS systems.
For MSPs and IT professionals, monitoring network devices is essential because it provides full visibility into your organization’s or clients’ IT infrastructure. Without monitoring all devices on managed networks, you risk lacking the critical information needed to fully resolve issues and may face unexpected downtime that affects productivity.
What types of network devices can I monitor with N‑able UEM platforms?
What types of network devices can I monitor with N‑able UEM platforms?
Our network device monitoring feature supports a wide range of SNMP-enabled devices, including:
- Routers and switches (Cisco, NETGEAR, Juniper)
- Firewalls (Fortinet, Dell SonicWALL, DrayTek)
- Printers (HP, Lexmark with toner/ink levels and page counts)
- UPS systems (APC)
- Storage devices (NetApp, Dell EqualLogic)
- Network appliances (NetBotz, ADTRAN, Zyxel)
The platform monitors critical metrics like CPU usage, temperature, fan status, memory, power supply status, RAID status, VPN connectivity, and battery levels.
How does automated device discovery work?
How does automated device discovery work?
Our network device monitoring tools automatically scan your managed subnets to identify and catalog all connected devices. The discovery process captures essential details like MAC addresses, IP configurations, firmware versions, and device specifications, making it easy to bring new devices under management.
Can I monitor network device performance in real-time?
Can I monitor network device performance in real-time?
Yes, both N‑sight and N‑central provide real-time monitoring with checks running every five minutes. You can track critical metrics like CPU utilization, memory usage, temperature, power supply status, and interface connectivity. Custom alerts notify you immediately when performance thresholds are exceeded.
Can I manage network devices remotely?
Can I manage network devices remotely?
Yes, both N‑able UEM solutions include secure remote access capabilities through SSH and Telnet protocols. You can troubleshoot, configure, and manage network devices remotely without needing on-site visits, saving time and reducing service costs for your clients.
