Here’s a story from NetXMS’s very own senior developer, Tatjana Dubrovica, about one such morning where a simple coffee run turned into a case study on why proactive monitoring matters.

In this article we will focus on topology and network-related functionality, because that's what sets NetXMS apart from so many other monitoring solutions.

Sometimes it takes many years for a company that successfully uses NetXMS, to reach out to us for some kind of service. KTM Fahrrad GmbH, based in Mattighofen, Austria, is one of such cases.

Network management is ever-critical for ensuring business continuity and performance. Most of the companies can allow literally zero network downtime, so system administrators are expected to ensure the seamless operation of the network — timely identification and troubleshooting of network issues, and efficient resource allocation.

One crucial component of such responsibility is understanding and interpreting network analytics to gain meaningful insights for improved decision-making. This article explores the nuances of network analytics, its impact on network management, and how to leverage data for actionable insights.

The NetXMS platform recently introduced an extremely handy new feature: context dashboards. These dynamic dashboards provide a flexible way to display data relevant to a specific context, making it easier to monitor and manage network devices. In this article, we'll discuss how context dashboards work in the NetXMS monitoring system and demonstrate their usefulness.

SSK is an agricultural co-operative in South Africa. Since 1931, the company has been helping farmers across the region in every aspect: from marketing and delivery to equipment maintenance and veterinary services. The company has been using NetXMS for 6 years. At the moment, with NetXMS the company monitors its whole network infrastructure with hundreds of devices — not only servers, routers and other network devices, workstations, printers, and copy machines, but also refrigerators where veterinary medicine is stored.

For companies whose network and IT infrastructure health is a part of the promise to their customers, network monitoring becomes one of the most critical functions. These are such companies as Telecoms, internet service providers (ISPs), and managed service providers (MSPs). Let’s see how NetXMS can help them offer a higher-value service to their clients.

Thousands of ATMs around the world are monitored with the help of NetXMS ATM monitoring. This is a flexible solution that is secure, gives you maximum visibility of your data, can remotely execute different management functions, can be integrated with your company’s ticketing system, and has many other smart features. Let’s look into them.

About twenty years ago, when we were just starting out with our NetXMS project, the commonly held view was that only non-technical users needed GUIs (graphical user interfaces). Technical users like network administrators were perfectly content with using text-based interfaces for searching, uploading and modifying data. We know that some IT professionals still prefer to use the command line — however, we are enthusiastic about graphical interfaces for technical users.

Logs are files that contain a record of events that occurred in the application. They are generated by the system to help you ensure that the applications running on your servers meet their availability and performance expectations. How can NetXMS help you monitor your logs and put them to good use?

With one of the biggest feature sets of all the NMS solutions out there, NetXMS offers an excellent organic workflow, which is, in addition to other things, aimed at improving your productivity. One area where NetXMS significantly saves your organisation’s time and resources is remote management of the monitored device itself and the files stored on it.

Among other things, the NetXMS network monitoring and management system is intended to save resources. That’s why adding the MQTT protocol (a machine-to-machine protocol most commonly used for the Internet of Things (IoT)) to the array of the protocols NetXMS works with was a natural decision.

If you work with ISP systems or data network infrastructures, you are most probably familiar with MikroTik devices. It perhaps is worth mentioning that this worldwide-known company was also founded and still operates from Latvia — just like our company Raden Solutions, the developer of NetXMS.

Auditing a production site typically begins with drawing a complete map of all the equipment in place. Yet this isn’t as easy as it may sound. Production lines tend to be long, complex and have protracted life spans with several rounds of repairs and improvements. So it’s not unusual for no-one on site to have a complete up-to-date list of all the sensors, controllers, robots and other parts of the system.

How do you monitor equipment units vastly distributed across large areas when network connection is notoriously unstable? The issue is more than common for companies operating in mining, oil, agriculture, shipping and other industries in remote areas with poor internet coverage. Raden Solutions’ NetXMS solves this challenge with proxy agents and a zoning feature.
