How does Netmonk monitor your Server?

Netmonk is a network monitoring application that can monitor network devices as described in previous articles in this blog. Apart from network devices, Netmonk can also monitor servers. A server is a computer program or device that provides services to other computer programs and their users, also known as clients. In a data center, the physical computer that the server program runs on is also often referred to as a server. That machine may be a dedicated server or may be used for other purposes as well. According to Rouse in his article, it is mentioned that servers are divided based on their purpose, such as web servers, application servers, proxy servers, mail servers, virtual servers, and so on.

Like devices, servers can also have problems. To reduce the losses caused by these problems, monitoring is the right solution. There are many network monitoring tools on the market but Netmonk, a network monitoring application, can be your choice for monitoring servers in your company. Why should you choose Netmonk over similar products from other vendors? The answer is quite simple, Netmonk can provide the most appropriate solution to solve the problems that occur on your company’s server.

How Does Netmonk Work in Monitoring Servers?

Netmonk is a network monitoring that utilizes 2 protocols, namely the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) protocol and the ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) protocol. Each has a different function. SNMP has a function to see the state of a device while ICMP is useful for knowing the life or death of a device. Before Netmonk monitors a server, you must first install the SNMP daemon on your server. Why? Because as explained earlier, in monitoring Netmonk utilizes SNMP. After you have installed the SNMP daemon on the server, the next step will be an agent called SNMP agent which will request data then the data will enter the data base. Then the Netmonk dashboard will analyze the latest data and historical data. So you can get complete data and information on your server. To find out more about the Netmonk dashboard, you can see the demo here.
