The use of technology to monitor a network or system and report events to the network administrator is known as network monitoring. Network monitoring can be used to alert a network manager when disk space is running low, remote users log in, or hardware failure is imminent. Typically, the software can send alerts to multiple destinations, including email addresses. System and network administrators can manage more systems more easily with network monitoring. 

Top Six Key benefits of Remote Network Monitoring

Here are a few key benefits of remote network monitoring:

• When Disk Space Becomes Limited

When a system's disk space is running low, remote network monitoring software can alert you. Systems can run out of disk space because of unusual activity that has caused logs to fill the disk, or because your applications or users have begun to fill the disk with their content. A full disk can cause unexpected failures in your server. When a disk starts to fill up, remote network monitoring can let you know so you can take action.

• LAN Discovery Automation

When new computers are added to your network, remote network monitoring software can detect them automatically. It can send alerts when it finds a new device. This can let you know when an authorized user connects their own computer to your network or when an unauthorized person connects a device that could compromise your network.

• Detailed Reports

Remote network monitoring software can generate detailed reports on the health of your systems. As the network administrator, you can tailor these reports to highlight the information that is most important to you. You can also schedule them to be sent on a regular and automatic basis. Reports can be emailed and exported to HTML, MS Word, or Excel.

• Monitoring of Event Logs

Remote network monitoring software can monitor the event logs of your servers for incidents that are important to you. It can notify you when changes occur or when system-specific software detects and logs an incident. This allows you to address issues before they cause downtime.

• When Users Connect While Traveling

When off-site users connect to your systems, remote network monitoring software can notify you. Odd patterns in off-site user connections can indicate a security breach or the compromise of a user's credentials. Remote network monitoring aids in the detection of such issues.

• File Changes and Violations Alert

When critical files are changed or someone tries to access a file that they shouldn't, remote network monitoring software can notify you. This can aid in the detection of viruses or intrusions into your network.

Remote network monitoring allows you to manage, administer, and secure more systems with greater ease. It sends notifications when a system fails, when a computer's disk space is running low, or when certain events are recorded in a log. Rather than repairing a server when users grumble, you can address the root causes before they become major issues.
