Despite everyone’s best efforts, network failures happen. And when downtime means lost productivity, fast troubleshooting becomes an integral part of IT operations. So with the addition of SNMP poller history, Auvik providing users an archive for troubleshooting, analysis, and planning. When it comes to managing network issues, diagnosing the root cause is the first step. And often, there’s a gap between when an incident occurs, and when it’s reported. And herein lies a big problem.

When something goes wrong, you need to look through your log messages and figure out important things like which device saw the problem first. This automatically tells you where to start looking for the root cause. If your clocks aren’t synchronized, it becomes much more difficult to correlate log messages between devices. More generally, you want to know if the similar log messages you’re seeing are related to the same incident or if maybe some of them happened much earlier or later.

Cybercriminals are constantly looking for ways to bypass defenses. You need to plan for when attackers will breach your defenses. When attackers exploit a vulnerability, you need a solution that quickly detects activities, mitigates attacks, expels attackers and enables recovery from any damage caused. It’s becoming increasingly clear that having a unified approach to data security is essential.

As enterprises continue to migrate workloads to cloud environments, they are reaping significant benefits, such as scalability, agility, and the ability to deploy applications in near real-time. However, these advantages are often undermined by the limitations of legacy networks. Traditional networks, restricted by long-term contracts and inflexible delivery timelines, are no longer fit for purpose in a cloud-driven world.

Firewalls protect networks from intrusions and cyber attacks. They work tirelessly behind the scenes, filtering traffic and ensuring only the right data passes through. But like any technology, firewalls need management to function optimally. This is where firewall management comes in, a crucial task for any business looking to maintain network security. Firewall management It involves not only setting up and maintaining firewalls but also regularly updating rules and ensuring everything runs smoothly.

A 502 Bad Gateway error implies that the server (Nginx) can’t properly communicate with the upstream web application server. A sign of more severe problems, such as server overload, improper configuration, or network failure, a 502 Bad Gateway error can cause service interruption, which can translate to revenue loss. Fortunately, you can easily resolve the error in Nginx once you identify the causes.

It’s the middle of the workday and suddenly your IT team starts receiving calls: systems are slow, applications are unresponsive, and productivity grinds to a halt. Before you know it, you’re scrambling to pinpoint the issue and juggling complaints, all while the clock is ticking and downtime costs are piling up. The problem?

When you put Auvik on a network for the first time, the software automatically starts monitoring that network for more than 40 potential issues. When Auvik finds an issue, it triggers an alert. Network alerts range in severity from emergency at the top all the way down to informational. As you work with Auvik, you may see a lot of alerts coming your way. It’s obvious you need to deal with the emergency and critical network alerts. But what about the simple warnings and informational alerts?
