In today’s fast-paced digital environment, missing a single device or connection can lead to outages, security gaps and frustrated users. Traditional network monitoring approaches often leave critical blind spots that slow down troubleshooting and increase risk. With Auvik, you can eliminate those blind spots through real-time mapping, automated inventory and proactive alerts that ensure you always know what’s happening across your infrastructure.

Why Real-Time Network Monitoring Matters

Network issues rarely announce themselves before they affect services. Without real-time insights, IT teams spend hours hunting down the source of slow performance or intermittent outages. Effective network monitoring lets you:

• Detect anomalies instantly by monitoring device health and traffic patterns.
• Visualize every connection on an interactive map that updates within the minute.
• Minimize downtime with automated alerts and remote troubleshooting.

Key Challenges of Traditional Monitoring

• Outdated documentation: Manual network diagrams are obsolete the moment they’re drawn.
• Hidden devices: Rogue access points, virtual machines and shadow IT gear often go untracked.
• Slow incident response: Without quick visibility, identifying the root cause takes far too long.
• Tool sprawl: Juggling multiple point solutions leads to fragmented data and higher complexity.

How Auvik Fills the Gaps

Auvik transforms network monitoring by delivering full, real-time visibility from the moment you deploy. Within minutes, Auvik automatically discovers your entire network, from core routers to remote endpoints, and maintains an up-to-date inventory without manual effort.

Live Network Mapping

With Auvik’s interactive, color-coded network map, you can:

• Trace the path from switch to endpoint at a glance.
• Filter and search to locate devices in seconds.
• See live link status, bandwidth usage and health metrics on each connection.

Automated Inventory Management

Auvik removes the burden of manual inventory by:

• Automatically discovering new devices as they appear on the network.
• Tracking device configurations and firmware versions.
• Backing up and versioning device configs for fast comparisons.

Traffic Analysis and Bandwidth Insights

Understanding traffic flows is critical for capacity planning and security monitoring. Auvik lets you:

• Identify the top talkers and bandwidth hogs by device, application and protocol.
• Drill into historic performance trends for informed decision-making.
• Set custom thresholds and receive alerts for unusual spikes or sustained high usage.

Proactive Alerting and Remote Troubleshooting

Spend less time firefighting and more time optimizing your network:

• Choose from pre-configured alerts or customize your own rules.
• Receive notifications via email, Slack, Teams or webhooks.
• Access and manage devices remotely without VPN hassles.
