- Need Better Visibility for Multi-Vendor Networks? Get Comprehensive Network Monitoring Dashboards.
Why It's Important: Your network is a critical platform for delivering applications and services to your business and end-users. If problems start, if the network slows down, or if an imminent network failure is coming, you need to know about it ASAP. Jumping between vendor specific tools to find answers can be both time consuming and frustrating. Deep monitoring, alerting and reporting of the network is essential for IT.
Why up.time? Dashboards provide complete network monitoring and analysis to help you watch over the performance and availability of all routers, switches, servers and other SNMP-enabled devices (including Cisco, Juniper, Dell, HP, IBM and more, right out-of-the-box). Top 10 lists give you all the critical network information you need at a glance. up.time includes network dashboards, alerts, reports, best practice thresholds and more to ensure you are always in control of the network.
- Network Bottlenecks Slowing Down Your Users? Get Intelligent Network Alerting and Analysis.
Why It's Important: Network bottlenecks can grind even high capacity networks to a complete halt. The business and end-users demand that applications and services are not only available, but fast. If your network is bogged down, it can be frustrating for your end-users and a strike against IT. You can either throw money and new infrastructure at the problem (which will eventually make it worse) or you can focus on solving the real problems.
Why up.time? Quickly view the status of your core networks and get alerted the second the network starts slowing down. From there, up.time gives you quick and easy deep-dive tools and root-cause analysis to highlight and fix network problems before end-users start calling the helpdesk.
- Network Bandwidth Issues Giving You Headaches? NetFlow Quickly Identifies the Culprits.
Why It's Important: Networks are flooded will all types of data. Some data is critical to the business but a lot of it isn't. How can you know which is the important data and which is YouTube traffic of a monkey on a surfboard? When it comes to the unimportant network traffic, find the who, what, where, when and how and shut them down. This opens up more network capacity for the important business processes and helps save IT budget.
Why up.time? up.time's optional Netflow monitoring ( Scrutinizer NetFlow extension) provides in-depth network analysis of NetFlow enabled devices (including Cisco NetFlow, Juniper JFlow and more) for a deep profiling of information on your network. See who is wasting your network bandwidth with just a few simple clicks. Review top conversation points and flow volume using historical reports from an hour ago, yesterday, the last month, the last year and more. See the network historical usage trend to know when you'll need to add more capacity.
- Want More Value from Your Network Monitoring Tool? Get Unified Monitoring, Fast Time-to-Value with Do-it-Yourself Deployment and a Flexible Framework.
Why It's Important: Time to value, that's the key. You need the best tool at the best price, as well as the ability to extend and scale your resources when needed. Can you scale across 1000's of network devices and multiple vendors? What about monitoring servers, monitoring applications, monitoring IT services and more from the same tool? Is deployment a snap, or does it take weeks and an expensive deployment package? Too many tools equals one big, expensive headache.
Why up.time? Enterprise network monitoring with do-it-yourself deployment in a matter of hours, not weeks. up.time's robust architecture is easily extendable and scalable with Custom SMNP data. In addition to supporting hundreds of vendor MIBs out-of-the-box, up.time has a built in "Custom SMNP Poller" that will collect any MIB value you need, giving you comprehensive monitoring, alerting and reporting across your network.

Move data to and from ticketing systems, helpdesk applications, corporate dashboards and more. See the health, performance and availability of your entire IT environment in one view.
- Get One Unified View of all Servers, Applications, Networks and IT Services.
Why It's Important: Trying to monitor, alert and report on your servers, 
applications, network and IT services with multiple tools is both a headache and budget draining. The server team is blaming the network team, who's blaming the application team, who's blaming the server team. Nothing gets fixed and each team has a different tool showing 'they are right.' The IT manager is left with finger pointing and blame game all over the IT department. Maybe it's more of a migraine than a headache. Not only that, but the cost of buying, configuring,deploying and maintaining multiple tools is expensive. What a nightmare.
Why up.time? up.time is a unified, comprehensive and easy to deploy IT dashboard for watching over servers, applications, networks and IT services, with its powerful monitoring, alerting and reporting for unified performance, availability and capacity management across the enterprise datacenter. No more blame game, no more finger pointing. Get IT on the same page, increase IT service levels and cut budget at the same time. Can you afford not to look at up.time?

Deep NetFlow Monitoring
Gain deeper visibility into your network traffic. Once you’ve determined that a server is generating large amounts of network data, it’s important to understand how that traffic is broken down. up.time’s NetFlow capabilities allow you to drill down into profiler level data, without the pain of navigating a profiling tool. Is the root cause of the problem multiple applications or processes generated from a single host, or is it caused by multiple hosts connecting to and downloading from a single server? With the detailed flow analysis and drill-down capability of up.time NetFlow, quickly find the answer to these questions and implement the network policy or required actions to prevent further denial of service threats or impacted network performance.
NetFlow monitors and analytics provide rich insights into the health of the network. up.time’s new NetFlow dashboards allow you to leverage NetFlow analytics to identify network threats, understand traffic flow information at a glance, and identify major changes in network activity. Immediately see if dozens of users were suddenly perusing YouTube as a result of a viral video, see if a DoS attack on your network had suddenly commenced, or proactively identify issues that only NetFlow analytics can provide efficiently.

Sample of up.time's Network Reporting.
Incident Priority Report
Quickly identify the "troublemakers" in your IT infrastructure with this application report and server report. Get a bird's-eye view of applications and systems that are causing lots of incidents and accumulating excessive downtime. Use this information to prioritize root-cause analysis, automation workflows, and other MTTR reduction activities. This report contains the following information:
- Incident Priority Quadrant
- Number of Incidents
- Total Downtime
- Mean Time to Repair (MTTR)
- Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
- Incident Top 20
- Downtime Top 20
Inventory Report
Get a handle on the complete composition of your entire monitored inventory, both physical and virtual. Know which operating systems are running on which architectures, and how many are virtual instances. Determine which OS and agent versions you are running, and which need to be updated with patches. Understand how your license is being consumed, and how it can be optimized.
Network Bandwidth Report
Find out which of your monitored systems are experiencing the most network load by reporting on the amount of data that has moved in and out of each NIC. Overloaded systems can become bottlenecks for the entire network; pinpointing and increasing their resources ensures network I/O is balanced.
SLA Detailed Report
Get a thorough breakdown of service level agreement performance and find out which of the SLA's component objectives suffered outages during the reporting period. From there, you can pinpoint when outages occurred, and which service monitors were responsible for them.
SLA Summary Report
Assess SLA targets from the "business side" and see, at a glance, how your SLAs performed over the last day, week, or month. Use trendline graphs to find out whether the current SLA performance is improving or getting worse, and in the latter case, take a proactive stance.

Network Service Monitors
DNS Monitor
DNS (Domain Name Server) is a distributed database that links various host names to specific Internet addresses. You can use the DNS Monitor to determine the IP addresses of external and internal host names. You can, for example, use the DNS monitor to ensure that your audience can access your Web site or portal by making sure that a selected address can be resolved or identify instances in your network environment where resources have had their IP addresses changed, and now the resource is no longer available.
FTP Monitor
This monitor attempts to open an FTP connection to a server listening on a specified port and lets you know if it is up and running. You can define the exact time limit or threshold to complete the FTP request and then trigger the appropriate Warning/Critical alerts.
HTTP (Web Services) Monitor
Monitor all your Web servers and Web services via HTTP requests and take appropriate action if web servers are down or not responding within your required time limits. Perform basic checks with this monitor or more sophisticated monitoring such as authenticating against web application servers such as WebLogic or WebSphere, requesting specific URLs and then validating the response received back from your application servers.
IMAP (email Retrieval) Monitor
Use the IMAP (Email Retrieval) monitor to determine if your IMAP servers are listening to specific ports, up and running of a specific server or on groups of servers. Let up.time do the work for you and let you know when your mail services are running into trouble.
LDAP Monitor
The LDAP monitor allows you to query LDAP databases and check for specific responses to validate that the directory services are alive and responding properly within specified time limits.
NFS Monitor
This monitor executes the showmount -e command against the monitored servers and extracts the exact number of NFS file systems that are exported. If the check fails then alerts are generated so you can initiate the appropriate recovery activity.
NIS / YP Monitor
Monitor all your NIS servers for specific domains to ensure they are responding, or go a step further and test to see they are functioning properly by requesting a specific key from an NIS table. Generate alerts and take immediate action when a problem is detected.
NNTP (Network News) Monitor
Monitor your news services using this probe, which issues a query against a news server on a specified port. If the news server does not respond in the given warning or critical time thresholds then alerts are generated.
PING Monitor
The PING Monitor is a simple yet effective way to verify whether your servers are up and responding. This probe sends a configurable number of ICMP ping packets to the monitored server and waits for a specific number of packets to return. You can define the packets and the wait time.
POP Monitor
Monitor all your standard POP mail servers for availability with this probe, and take appropriate recovery action when your mail servers do not respond within user specified time limits.
Port Monitor
Monitor all of your SNMP-based network devices, alerting on port status, bandwidth, performance, and packet discards and errors. Ensure your network monitoring is focused on your most critical pipelines by monitoring specific ports, or specific port types.
SMTP (Email Delivery) Monitor
Monitor your SMTP mail servers using this probe which tests for the return of a standard mail response header. If an SMTP mail server does not respond in the user specified warning or critical time limits, then alerts are generated to let you know your mail servers need attention.
SNMP Poller
Query all your SNMP devices for specific OID parameters, and compare the responses to specific patterns for alerting with all of your network devices. The SNMP monitor also supports Net-SNMP. Net-SNMP is a suite of command line and graphical applications that interact in the following ways with SNMP agents that are installed on other systems:
- Request information from SNMP agents
- Set information on SNMP agents
- Generate and handle SNMP traps
SSH (Secure Shell) Monitor
The SSH monitor tests to see if all SSH processes are responding on their ports. Alerts are immediately generated if the tests fail so you can take recovery action.
TCP Monitor
The TCP monitor check is a powerful tool for verifying that virtually any system service or application is alive and responding. It allows you to specify a port to be checked and timed for response within user specified time limits.
Advanced Monitors
Custom Monitor [User Definable]
For situations where the basic built-in up.time monitors are not adequate to monitor special systems, applications and proprietary devices, the Custom Monitor allows you to execute custom scripts that you develop which then trigger specific alerts. A powerful monitor to ensure up.time is monitoring everything critical in your enterprise. Just tell the Custom Monitor where your scripts are located and up.time will execute them for you at the frequency you specify.
Custom with Retained Data Monitor [User Definable]
Works just like the standard Custom Monitor for monitoring any specific custom application or service, with the additional feature of being able to import and store up to 10 data items per probe in the up.time database for historical graphing and reporting. This is a powerful tool for tracking and reporting any metrics in your enterprise that matter to you.
External Check Monitor
Monitoring applications for critical error messages, or any other asynchronous events, and then taking recovery action is easy with the External Monitor. These messages or events are sent to up.time which then triggers the appropriate alerts.
