Eagle Networks has been performing
network monitoring for years. In fact, it's one of the important
items that has led to our EAGLE CARE program. Network monitoring
can furnish us with information about your IT system performance, that
allows us to discover any issues and have the information to fix the
issues promptly. Network monitoring is included in every Eagle
Care option. The term
network monitoring describes the use of a system that constantly
monitors a computer network for slow or failing components and that
notifies us in case of outages via email, pager or other alarms. It is a
subset of the functions involved in network management.

While an intrusion detection system
monitors a network for threats from the outside, a network monitoring
system monitors the network for problems caused by overloaded and/or
crashed servers, network connections or other devices.
For example, to determine the status
of a webserver, monitoring software may periodically send an HTTP
request to fetch a page; for email servers, a test message might be sent
through SMTP and retrieved by IMAP or POP3.
Commonly measured metrics are response
time and availability (or uptime), although both consistency and
reliability metrics are starting to gain popularity. Status
request failures, such as when a connection cannot be established, it
times-out, or the document or message cannot be retrieved, usually
produce an action from the monitoring system.
Website monitoring services can check
HTTP pages, HTTPS, SNMP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, DNS, SSH, TELNET, SSL,
TCP, ping and a range of other ports with great variety of check
intervals from every 4 hours to every one minute. Typically, most
network monitoring services test your server anywhere between once-per-hour to once-per-minute.
