A lightweight network monitor is an affordable network monitoring tool designed to be easy-to-use and flexible in its deployment.
A lightweight monitoring solution should be designed to require minimal effort from IT when performing many processes—from startup and discovery to configuring settings and managing monitors. A lightweight network monitor can also provide easier ways to set up automation using wizards while still allowing for customization. If a monitoring solution is too complex, or requires too much manual configuration, it doesn’t qualify as “lightweight.”
In addition, “lightweight” implies the tool doesn’t require extra equipment or purchases. For instance, a built-in database and web server included in a lightweight network monitor can help the monitoring tool function in a standalone way without requiring further purchases.
Additionally, a lightweight, affordable network monitor should be flexible in its deployment. An agentless approach helps ensure the monitoring solution uses little system overhead. The tool should have a web interface that allows monitoring from anywhere with an internet connection.
A lightweight network monitor can perform monitoring through standard SNMP and WMI protocols to track web applications, including SQL databases, web servers, and mail servers. They can also track infrastructure including server computers, routers, and switches. It can also be useful to track IP-based and Windows services.
A lightweight network monitor can then repurpose this information into a network monitoring dashboard by using widgets to collect monitoring data to provide text and graphics that can be quickly read and understood, such as gauges, charts, or network device maps. These monitoring dashboards also allow users to run reports on availability and performance metrics and provide the ability to set alerts or remediation actions dependent on the monitoring data.
Lightweight network monitoring offers a way for small, medium, and large organizations to quickly and easily implement a monitoring solution.
The assumption that all comprehensive network monitoring products are overly complicated, expensive, and require a great deal of manual configuration and management can cause organizations to avoid or delay getting started with network monitoring and lead to suboptimal solutions. Without a sufficient network monitoring solution, it can be more difficult for organizations to catch availability issues and ensure network devices and applications are performing as expected for end users, leaving businesses vulnerable to productivity failures.
A lightweight network and application monitor can provide a cost-effective and easy-to-use solution requiring no additional hardware or software. Organizations can get started quickly and ensure they have all the basics of network monitoring in place, helping protect their interests.
Network management software, and lightweight tools in particular, should include specific features to ensure comprehensive, effective, and reliable monitoring. These features include:
Centralized Dashboard: Monitoring is easier when the information is all in one place. A web interface allows IT to check on network status from anywhere with an internet connection, while user-friendly and configurable dashboards make it possible to adjust views to show exactly what you need, for your network.
Easy Setup: Good network software should make it easy to get started, with guidance for setup and automated device discovery. In addition, the software should suggest appropriate monitoring configurations for a more accurate and streamlined setup process.
Alerts and Reports: Notifications and reporting tools are critical for effective network monitoring. The software should let you customize alerts and use alerting methods like email or text. You should also be able to easily run reports based on your criteria.
Remediation Actions: A network monitor provides the insights you need to troubleshoot quickly and avoid downtime. But remediation actions take it one step further by automating issue resolution when possible, which means the tool can restart failed applications and Windows services, run scripts, and more, all without manual intervention.
SolarWinds ipMonitor offers affordable, agentless monitoring for your networks, servers, and applications. This straightforward tool is built for centralized monitoring of availability and performance of elements like bandwidth, CPU usage, Active Directory, DNS metrics, HTTP, and much more.
ipMonitor is designed as a standalone tool, with a fully integrated database and web server, so you can avoid extra equipment or costs. In addition, ipMonitor is an agentless solution, so there’s no need to install software agents. You can check on the monitoring process through a web interface, from anywhere with an internet connection.
ipMonitor is built to help automate your process using a Startup and Discovery Wizard to get you started monitoring typically in minutes. In addition, ipMonitor recommends settings through its SmartMonitor technology to help optimize monitoring and data collection. In addition, the tool includes some automated remediation, so when specific issues occur, ipMonitor can trigger actions in response.
As a lightweight monitor, ipMonitor is built to be easy to use.
You can use the NOC dashboard to more easily get the overviews you need, with the ability to drag and drop charts, gauges, and other features to customize screens. You can also create maps to show connections between network nodes, with visual status indicators for at-a-glance insight into issues.
You can even use this dashboard to get custom alerts and reports to show the information you need to know. ipMonitor lets you set 14 types of notifications and send them to email, text, or write to Window Event Log as needed.
