Overview

Monitoring overall network health helps you to avoid or mitigate potential operational disruptions or downtime.

In addition to the dashboards and dashlets that you can use to monitor various targeted aspects of the network, you can monitor and evaluate the overall health of the entire enterprise network efficiently by using these key monitoring tools:

The Network Health dashboard Which provides summary views of all of the sites that comprise the enterprise network, and reports on the health of: Network routers, switches, and access points, including whether the devices' key performance indicators (KPIs) are within or outside of normal ranges. Business critical application metrics, such as application response or client experience. Note: Prime Infrastructure requires an Assurance license to support the Network Health dashboard and functionality.
