Network_Monitor

Network > Network Monitor

The Network > Network Monitor page provides a flexible mechanism for monitoring network path viability. The results and status of this monitoring are displayed dynamically on the Network Monitor page, and are also provided to affected client components and logged in the system log.

Each custom NM policy defines a destination Address Object to be probed. This Address Object may be a Host, Group, Range, or FQDN. When the destination Address Object is a Group, Range or FQDN with multiple resolved addresses, Network Monitor probes each probe target and derives the NM Policy state based on the results.

The Status column elements displays the status of the network connection to the target:

•

Green indicates that the policy status is UP.

•

Red indicates that the policy status is DOWN.

•

Yellow indicates that the policy status is UNKNOWN.

You can view details of the probe status by hovering your mouse over the green, red, or yellow light for a policy.

The following information is displayed in the probe status:

•

The percent of successful probes.

•

The number of resolved probe targets.

•

The total number of probes sent.

•

The total number of successful probe responses received.

•

A list of resolved probe targets, and their status.
