Network
Network monitoring overview
Path health from the points that matter: active tests from network agents, passive observation of what hosts talk to, and SNMP for the devices in between — and what the platform never renders as 'nothing wrong'.
Install the network agent
Register an agent under Network → Agents to get its connection key, install it with the Windows setup wizard or the Linux tarball, verify it registered, and know which ports it uses. Current release 0.3.0.
Network agent configuration
Every setting in network-agent.toml, what is off by default and why, which settings the platform manages centrally without a restart, environment overrides, and where the files live.
The Network workspace
The ten tabs — Dashboard, Topology, Agents, Path Analysis, Events & Changes, Dependencies, Tests, Metrics, SNMP Traps, Discovery — and what each is for.
Create a network test
The nine test types — ping, TCP, UDP, traceroute, DNS, HTTP with assertions and mTLS, TLS certificate, MTU, agent-to-agent bandwidth — source agents by name, region or tag, schedules, and alert thresholds.
Reading the network views
Dashboard, topology, the agent mesh and latency matrix, path analysis, events & changes, dependencies with their stated completeness, and raw metrics — plus a cookbook for localizing a latency complaint.
SNMP monitoring
Monitor switches, routers and firewalls two ways — event-driven traps and scheduled polling — in one unified device view.
SNMP traps
Enable the trap listener, point devices at the agent on UDP 162, and get a device registry, severity, a live trap stream, top talkers and alerting.
SNMP polling
Add a device to poll (IP, version, credentials, interval, MIB-II profile) for reachability, uptime and per-interface health — changes apply with no agent restart.
Troubleshooting the network agent
Restart loops, never online, tests that never run, mesh peers unreachable, traps not arriving, 'unavailable' or 'sampled' dependencies, resource use, and removing an agent cleanly — with where to look first.
