Achieve unified control and proactive network monitoring with ManageEngine OpManager
ManageEngine OpManager is an integrated network monitoring solution engineered to cut through the complexity. It replaces tool sprawl with a single, powerful console, transforming raw performance data into the actionable intelligence you need to ensure stability, optimize performance, and drive your business forward.
See everything: Unified visibility and intelligent discovery
You can't manage what you can't see. OpManager's powerful discovery engine provides a complete and consistently up-to-date inventory of your entire IT ecosystem.
- Automated Network Discovery: Leverage a multi-protocol approach (SNMP, WMI, ICMP, CLI) to automatically discover and classify all your network devices, servers, and virtual hosts.
- Dynamic Network Mapping: Go beyond static diagrams. OpManager generates real-time Layer 2 and Layer 3 topology maps that visualize physical and logical connectivity, providing immediate context during troubleshooting and dependency analysis.
- Business-Centric Views: Group devices by geographical location, business service, or department to understand the direct impact of IT health on business operations.
Proactive performance monitoring
OpManager delivers granular, real-time insights into the performance of every component in your infrastructure, allowing you to spot degradation before it impacts users.
- Comprehensive device monitoring: Go beyond basic up/down status checks for your critical network hardware. OpManager provides deep performance monitoring for your multi-vendor environment of routers, switches, and firewalls. Proactively track critical KPIs like CPU and memory utilization to prevent packet loss and routing instability caused by overloaded devices. Drill down into interface-level monitoring to analyze bandwidth utilization, traffic volume, and, crucially, interface errors and discards. OpManager also monitors critical hardware health metrics like CPU temperature, fan speed, and power supply status, providing a complete picture of your hardware's operational health.
- In-depth server monitoring: Ensure the servers and virtual infrastructure hosting your business-critical applications are performing optimally. OpManager provides complete visibility into your physical and virtual servers, supporting Windows, Linux, VMware, Hyper-V, and Nutanix environments. It not only tracks core resource utilization but also monitors running processes and Windows services, helping you identify rogue processes or failed application services that are causing performance issues. In virtualized environments, it monitors both the host and the individual guest VMs, tracking virtualization-specific metrics like VMware CPU Ready time and memory ballooning to diagnose resource contention issues that are invisible from within the guest OS alone. This ensures your applications always have the resources they need to perform.
- Advanced WAN and wireless monitoring: Guarantee reliable connectivity for your distributed workforce and business locations. OpManager utilizes Cisco IP SLA technology to proactively monitor WAN link health, not just by checking uptime, but by actively measuring real-world performance metrics like latency, jitter, and packet loss. Furthermore, gain clear visibility into your wireless network by monitoring WLAN controllers and access points. Track key metrics like client distribution, signal strength, and traffic patterns to identify overloaded APs and eliminate Wi-Fi coverage dead zones, ensuring a seamless experience for your mobile users and wireless devices.
Intelligent fault management and automation: Reduce noise, accelerate resolution
Stop firefighting and start managing proactively. OpManager's fault management system is designed to help you identify root causes faster and automate remediation.
- AI-Powered alerting: Leverage AI and machine learning to establish dynamic baselines and detect subtle anomalies, reducing false positives from static thresholds.
- Root cause analysis: With dependency-aware alerting, OpManager suppresses "alert storms," allowing you to focus on the primary fault (e.g., a core switch failure) instead of being overwhelmed by secondary alarms from dependent devices.
- SNMP trap processing and Syslog monitoring: Act as a central console for all asynchronous alerts, processing SNMP traps and syslog messages with a powerful rule-based engine to turn raw log data into actionable alerts.
- IT workflow automation: A game-changer for operational efficiency. Use a code-free, drag-and-drop builder to automate first-level troubleshooting steps and routine tasks. Automatically restart a failed service, run a diagnostic script, or log a ticket when specific alerts are triggered.
Actionable Insights: Customizable dashboards and in-depth reporting
Translate complex performance data into clear, actionable intelligence for your entire team, from NOC operators to IT leadership.
- Customizable dashboards: Build role-specific dashboards with over 90 different widgets. Get an at-a-glance view of your entire network's health, top resource consumers, and active alarms from a single pane of glass.
- 3D Data center visualization: Create a virtual replica of your server room and racks, with real-time status overlays that help you physically locate problematic hardware instantly.
- Comprehensive reporting: Utilize over 100 out-of-the-box reports for performance, availability, and SLA compliance. Schedule reports to be automatically generated and emailed to stakeholders, making SLA and performance reviews effortless.
