Bytes in, bytes out, errors, drops. That&rsquo;s enough to know a link is saturated, but not enough to know which conversations are saturating it, which devices are involved, or how a problem propagates across your network. For that you&rsquo;ve traditionally needed dedicated network performance monitoring tools, usually expensive, usually a separate console from the rest of your monitoring.</p> <p>Today we&rsquo;re closing that gap. Netdata has had solid network interface monitoring for a long time through its native collectors and SNMP support. We&rsquo;ve now built out the rest of the picture, and it adds up to NPM-class network monitoring: live network topology, NetFlow and sFlow traffic analysis, SNMP device monitoring across 200+ vendor profiles, SNMP trap handling, and a dedicated network monitoring dashboard. All of it runs alongside the infrastructure, application, and container metrics Netdata already collects, on the same timeline, in the same platform.</p>
