Server
Servers underpin virtually every one of your core business services. Depending on their performance, they represent either a vital asset or a critical vulnerability. With Nimsoft Monitor, your organization gets the server monitoring capabilities it needs to optimize the performance of business services—and the servers they rely on—all day, every day.

Network Interface Monitoring
 Network Interface Monitoring You’re watching your network devices. You’re watching your servers. You have it all covered, right? Not always. Deep inside network packets lives a vast set of configuration details that allow system, application and network administrators to troubleshoot the most evasive problems. Nimsoft Monitor for Network Traffic gives you visibility into every packet crossing your server network interface cards (NICs). This allows usage trending by protocol, and integrated packet capture capabilities (PCAP).
Monitoring traffic in terms of its volume is very useful for performance and capacity planning purposes. At times, it is also useful to understand the type of traffic that is flowing through the network. In the event of an unexpected increase in traffic, it can be very helpful to analyze the traffic by protocol type, e.g. IP, ARP, RARP, and IPX, and be able to compare to previous analysis data.
Nimsoft Monitoring for Network Traffic inspects Ethernet packets to report the protocol being used. It also allows you to see bandwidth usage between source and destination addresses, broken down by protocol.
Key Features
- Monitor the amount of bandwidth used for various Ethernet protocols and families, such as IP, ARP, RARP, IPX, TCP, UDP, and more.
- Define custom profiles to monitor, using source/destination networks/IP-addresses and one or more protocol filters.
- Give alarm notifications whenever a system-counter threshold or custom threshold is breached.
- View network activity (bytes/packet) in real-time.
- A packet-sniffer (without the content browser) to determine where the bandwidth is compromised with a powerful filtering facility.
- A summary window that shows the top-n traffic clients.
- Manually initiate a network dump at local or remote sites, and examine the data locally on your PC. Or, trigger an automatic dump when a desired pattern is found.
- Capture standard PCAP (packet capture) files containing raw packet dumps from the remote location.
- Define triggers to search for specific traffic patterns, automatically generating PCAPs based on traffic pattern match.
Benefits
- Understand “baseline” and “current” network activity and protocol usage from individual hosts to help determine the root cause of problems.
- Gain integrated access to detailed packet-level information to help speed up network troubleshooting.
Technical Details
Ethernet statistics, displaying
- The maximum bandwidth for the network device selected on the Setup tab
- The current throughput
- The number of packets per second
Also the statistics for the different network protocols is displayed, including:
- IP (Internet Protocol)
- ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
- RARP (Remote Address Resolution Protocol)
- IPX (Internetwork Package exchange)
IP protocol utilization, displaying the different transport protocols in a graph, including:
- TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
- UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
- ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)
Packet distribution graphs show the amount of different packet sizes processed.
