What is Network Monitoring and How Does It Work?

We also have this information in video format. 

Network monitoring is the process of observing and analyzing the traffic and behavior of computer networks to ensure they are performing optimally and securely.

It’s like the security guard that patrols the building you’re no longer welcomed at… oh… just me? Anyway, they make sure everything is in order and there are no suspicious activities or potential threats.

Similarly, network monitoring tools keep an eye on network traffic, identify unusual patterns, and alert IT staff about potential problems or security breaches.

The main goal of network monitoring is to ensure the network is available, reliable, and performing at an optimal level. It can also help in identifying and resolving issues quickly, preventing downtime and data loss, and improving the overall user experience.

Overall, network monitoring can be a valuable tool for businesses of all sizes, particularly those with complex IT infrastructures or that rely heavily on their network for day-to-day operations.

By implementing a robust network monitoring system, businesses can better understand how their network is performing and proactively address any issues before they become major problems.
