Network management incorporates device monitoring, application management, security, ongoing maintenance, service levels, troubleshooting, planning, and other tasks - ideally all coordinated and overseen by an experienced and reliable network administrator. Yet even the most knowledgeable and capable network administrator is only as good as the network information that is visible, and that he or she can manage and act on. Administrators need to know what's happening on their networks at all times, and as this paper explains, that's where network monitoring comes in.
