Network Device Monitoring

Network device monitoring combines reachability, SNMP queries and interface state tracking for infrastructure hardware — the devices whose failure looks like 'the internet is broken'.

Switches, firewalls and APs — the layer alerts forget

What it checks

  • Device reachability and response time
  • SNMP system state and interface OIDs
  • Uptime and restart detection

Set it up

  1. 1Add a network device monitor per switch, firewall or AP
  2. 2Configure SNMP community and OIDs where supported
  3. 3Alert infra on-call with device name and site

FAQ

How is this different from a ping check?

Ping proves reachability; device monitoring adds protocol-level queries — interface state, uptime, restarts — so a half-dead switch shows up before it fully drops.
