Monitoring your hosts with NetWatch


Back to Axence NetTools product page.



Monitoring your hosts with NetWatch

NetWatch is a sophisticated tool available in NetTools allowing you to monitor the availability of your hosts. It continuously sends ICMP (ping) packets to all hosts on the list and allows you to check response times and the number of lost packets. This tool provides a history of these values for reporting host status over time (the Free version holds history only during run time). NetWatch allows you to set several notifications in case of a host not responding or problems with a connection. Please refer to the Alerts section for more information.

To start monitoring a host
1. Select the NetWatch tool on the navigation bar. 2. Enter the host DNS name or IP address in the address bar. 3. Click the Add button or press Enter.
Information provided

General information about each host is available in the main grid: DNS name and IP address, response times (min/max/avg), and number of packets sent and lost.
On the main chart, you can see response times and % of packets lost for selected time. If you would like to see the exact values of response time in milliseconds, take a look at the grid placed in the sidebar. This grid stores response times for the last 5 minutes.

Main chart

On the main chart, you can see response times and % of packets lost for a selected time. Response time is presented as a line chart and % of packets lost is presented as a gradient area chart.
There is a toolbar located over the chart that lets you change chart type and time period.
You can see historical data in several time periods (e.g. the last 5 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month). To select the appropriate period, just select the corresponding icon on the chart toolbar.
To scroll the chart backward and forward, use the arrow icons located on the chart toolbar.

Options

You may change monitoring frequency and timeout value for selected hosts. Just select a host or several hosts and enter the desired values in the Options section on the sidebar.
