MG-SOFT Net Inspector Fault and Performance Manager

Screen shots

MG-SOFT Net Inspector has a web-based user interface. The image shows an example of Net Inspector home page displaying the network topology and active alarms (right section) and several fault and performance management dashboards (Device Status, Problems, Top-N reports, etc.) indicating the device health and resource utilization (left section). The home page is fully configurable.
Net Inspector web-based user interface features light and dark color themes. The latter uses darker color tones that offer a modern look and may reduce eyestrain in lower lit environments. One can switch the Net Inspector color theme from light to dark and vice-versa at any time with a single click of a button. The image shows an example of Net Inspector home page using dark theme.
The network discovery feature lets you discover all devices on the network that respond to SNMP or ICMP Ping requests, automatically add subnet maps with devices and their connections to the Net inspector workspace (a particular user view) and start monitoring the discovered network, all in a highly productive way. The discovery operation can be performed on a local subnet, on user-specified address range(s) or as the SNMP-based network scan. More than one discovery operation can exist and run at the same time in Net Inspector. Furthermore, discovery operations can be scheduled to run daily at a specified time.
The Map View frame graphically displays the network topology and nodes on the network. This presentation is based on a principle of organizing devices into maps and sub-maps. Devices and maps are presented as icons on the Net Inspector workspace. Device icon colors reflect the current status of devices, while the small balloons above device icons indicate the number and severity levels of active alarms associated with devices.
An example of a (part of) device performance page, showing the device status, device response time and packet loss, as well as the status, statistics, and utilization of monitored network interfaces. On Cisco devices, for example, memory usage, CPU load, supported services and Cisco IP SLA statistics (if present) are monitored out-of-the-box. All charts and values provide a drill-down capability: by clicking any chart or a measurement, a more detailed history chart and table displaying the collected values of the given metric.
The software supports monitoring the status and latency (round trip time) of a number of well-known network services (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, DNS, SMTP, IMAP, IMAPS, POP3, SIP, H.323, SSH, Telnet, NNTP, NNPTS, LDAP, LDAPS, IPP, LPD, MsSQL, MySQL and Oracle service). By clicking a service in the Services page, more detailed statistics (service availability [in %] and RTT [in ms] history graphs) for the given service are shown.
Net Inspector lets you monitor the organization's virtualization infrastructure, i.e., virtualization servers (VMware ESX/ESXi and vCenter and Microsoft Hyper-V) and guest virtual machines (VMs) by using VMware web services API and WMI. This lets you effectively monitor your virtualization environment's health and the resources of virtualization servers and VMs, like the CPU load, memory usage, network utilization and traffic, datastore usage, etc
Net Inspector continually monitors the status, utilization rates, bit rates, packet rates, error rates and discard rates for selected network interfaces on a given device. By clicking any chart, a more detailed history chart and table are displayed, showing the collected values of the given metric.
The software triggers and display alarms when significant network events occur (e.g., if a monitored service stops responding, if an metric crosses the threshold value, if a device reports an event via SNMP Trap message, etc.). Alarms are displayed in a dedicated Alarms page, which contains the Active Alarms list and the Alarm History dashboard. The Active Alarms list lets you view, acknowledge, manually clear, filter and sort alarms by any attribute (e.g., severity level, date and time, source, etc.). The Alarm History dashboard graphically presents the distribution of alarms in a given time frame using a stacked bar chart. The corresponding alarm history list displays a detailed list of all alarms that existed in the given time slot, so one can analyze the sequence of events.
Net Inspector supports NetFlow and sFlow monitoring and generates detailed IP traffic statistics identifying the applications that generate the most traffic (in packets and bytes), endpoints (IP addresses) that receive and send the most data, protocols that are used most, etc. This information is obtained by collecting, analyzing and aggregating NetFlow and sFlow packets exported by network devices. By clicking an item in the TopN reports (e.g., Top10 Conversations, Top20 Applications, Top15 Transmitters, Top5 Receivers, etc.) displayed in the main NetFlow report page, a more detailed report page about the clicked item (conversation, application, protocol, endpoint, etc.) is displayed.
Net Inspector lets you monitor the IP SLA statistics, including HTTP, FTP, TCP, DNS and VoIP Quality-Of-Service metrics (e.g., MOS, jitter, latency, packet loss, etc.) on devices implementing the IP SLA functionality (e.g., Cisco routers).
Net Inspector can automatically perform certain actions when events/alarms occur. Actions are primarily used for notifying network operators about events, e.g., by e-mail or by executing arbitrary commands (e.g., to fix specific network problems in an automated fashion or to notify responsible persons via some other means, for example, by emitting an audible alarm, by sending an instant message, etc.). This feature ensures that network operators are always notified of important alarms on time, regardless of their current physical location. Furthermore, the software lets you configure and use filters in order to notify you only about those alarms that match the filter criteria.
Net Inspector lets you configure and assign different user views to users. A user view is a specific view of the network that can include either all managed objects in the supervised network (e.g., an administrator user view), any subgroup of those objects, or even individual devices (e.g., user views assigned to users with limited access rights). This principle facilitates the division of the supervised network into smaller units and enables efficient delegation of the network supervision activities to different staff members or even end-users (e.g., in case of ICT infrastructure and services providers).
Net Inspector comes with a series of predefined fault and performance management reports (e.g., device availability, number of alarms per severity, network interface utilization, CPU usage,�) that are accessible out-of-the-box. A user can select the desired time interval (a specific day, week, month, year, etc.) for any of the predefined time reports and view the results in form of a table. Results can be filtered by using quick filters (as described below) and sorted by any column included in reports (e.g., device name, value, min. value, max. value, etc.), as well as exported to CSV and PDF formats. In addition to the predefined time reports, Net Inspector lets you configure custom report pages, containing charts or tables displaying metrics monitored on one or more devices. Examples of such custom reports are Top10 reports, table of collected values (e.g., response time, disk usage, interface bitrate, etc.), graphs showing the values of user-specified OIDs, etc.
Net Inspector can load any number of standard and private MIB modules that were previously compiled with the enclosed MG-SOFT MIB Compiler. Loaded MIB modules let you perform SNMP monitoring activities in a user-friendly manner (e.g., identify and display SNMP Trap and Inform notifications messages by their names, resolve SNMP OIDs to names, resolve OID values, etc.).
