Network Performance Monitor:
Comprehensive fault monitoring and performance management for your network.
Reduce network outages and quickly detect, diagnose, and resolve multi-vendor network performance issues with affordable, easy-to-use network monitoring software.
Get to the root cause quicker with intelligent, dependency and topology-aware network alerts.
Reduce the flood of unnecessary network alerts. Create alerts based on simple or complex nested trigger conditions, defined parent/child dependencies, and network topology.
Hop-by-hop analysis of cloud or on-prem applications or services.
Monitor critical business services on-prem or in the cloud with NetPath network path analysis. You can see changes along the path, identify service provider issues, and use historical views to review the path before a problem occurs.
PerfStack™ cross-stack network data correlation.
Accelerate identification of root cause by dragging-and-dropping network performance metrics on a common timeline for immediate visual correlation across all your network data.
Contextual monitoring for advanced network devices.
Today’s networks are more complex, with more advanced hardware. Simply knowing if a device is up or down doesn’t tell you how your load balancer is managing application delivery or if your firewall is blocking the right traffic. Network Insight features for Cisco ASA, Cisco Nexus, F5 BIG-IP, and Palo Alto Networks help you troubleshoot your switches, firewalls, and load balancers like an expert.
Automatically updated network maps.
See relationships for routers, switches, interfaces, volumes, and groups, updated automatically without user intervention.
Want more customization? Build network maps from scratch or import auto-generated maps, customize layouts, and add them to any view or dashboard using the new Orion® Maps widget. Spend time maintaining your network, not your network maps.
Measure the health of the logical network in addition to the physical network with Cisco ACI support.
Monitor logical components of the SDN environment, including APICs, tenants, application profiles, endpoint groups, and physical entities directly from your network monitoring tool.
See performance metrics for autonomous access points, wireless controllers, and clients.
Easily identify dead zones and improve wireless coverage. With our network monitoring tool, you can access out-of-the-box wireless reports, including wireless availability and rogue access points.
Dynamically calculate baseline thresholds from historical network performance data.
Configure alerts accurately by calculating dynamic baseline threshold data with our network performance monitoring software.
Scale up to monitor more elements or poll more frequently, or scale out to multiple locations.
Drop disparate network monitoring tools and get comprehensive data in an integrated platform for greater visibility into monitoring network performance, all with flexible deployment and a lower TCO.
View, search, and alert on log data from the same console as NPM for free.
Use the Orion Log Viewer to collect, search, filter, and alert on syslogs and SNMP trap data from within the Orion console. NPM users can activate the functionality of Orion Log Viewer free with a trial of SolarWinds Log Analyzer. Orion Log Viewer helps you to correlate log data with performance and availability metrics on a common timeline so you can get to root cause faster. Even if your Log Analyzer trial expires, the Orion Log Viewer functionality stays activated in your NPM instance.
Be able to monitor more elements, poll more frequently, or cover more locations.
Gain the ability to increase frequency of polling, easily monitor remote locations, or scale to up to 12,000 additional elements per additional polling engine.
Help ensure 24/7 availability for your Orion servers and pollers across subnets with Orion Platform High Availability (HA).
Protect your monitoring environment against O/S crashes, application failures, network connectivity problems, and database availability issues with SolarWinds High Availability.
Get a single consolidated command center of multiple SolarWinds servers with Enterprise Operations Console (EOC).
SolarWinds Enterprise Operations Console collects performance data from an installed base of multiple SolarWinds servers, and summarizes this data into a composite, centralized view.
Log Analyzer:
Gain insight into the performance of your environment.
Your infrastructure is constantly generating log data to provide performance insight. Collect, consolidate, and analyze thousands of syslog, traps, Windows, and VMware events to perform root-cause analysis with log monitoring tools from Log Analyzer.
Rapid identification of performance and availability issues.
Perform searches using basic matching. Execute searches using multiple search criteria and apply filters to narrow results. Save, schedule, and export search results within the log monitoring software.
See log data in real-time with an interactive chart and graph.
Traditional log collection and log management tools generate reports in plain text or HTML. SolarWinds® Log Analyzer displays logs in an interactive, real-time log stream.
Simplified log search
Easily apply (color-coded) tags to your log data to aid with filtering, searching, and identifying performance issues.
Collect, analyze, and alert on data in Windows flat log files
Log Analyzer can collect Windows flat log files and provide insight to help admins troubleshoot and resolve application issues faster.
Unified infrastructure monitoring and centralized event log management.
SolarWinds Log Analyzer directly integrates your log and event data into the Orion Platform console so you can easily view log data alongside network and systems performance.
Leverage Orion intelligent alert actions
Be the first to know when issues arise. Log Analyzer integrates with the intelligent alert engine of Orion to provide customizable alerts along with delivery options including email notification, ServiceNow integration, and the triggering of an external script.
Keep your log aggregator from being a dead end
Having your log data in a central location is great for troubleshooting and correlation, but what if you need that useful data in other locations or tools? Log Analyzer allows you to forward logs to other applications, such as ticketing systems or SIEMs, and export log data to CSV files for even more flexibility.
