Abstract
There are provided a network monitoring system and a network monitoring method which are capable of obtaining results of monitoring devices on a network with accuracy. Monitor probe servers are provided in respective different layers of a network to determine operating states of devices on the network. A monitor server monitors the operating states of the devices on the network, based on the output from the monitor probe servers. The monitor probe servers transmit monitoring commands to the devices on the network, receives responses to the commands from the devices, and outputs the received responses to the monitor server, which in turn analyzes the responses received from the monitor probe servers, and displays results of the analysis.
Claims17
A network monitoring system comprising:
- first monitoring means for determining operating states of devices on a network;
- and
- second monitoring means for monitoring the operating states of the devices on the network, based on an output from said second monitoring means.
A network monitoring system comprising:
- first monitoring means having collecting means for collecting data indicative of results of monitoring devices on a network, and output means for outputting the collected data;
- and
- second monitoring means having storage means for storing the output data, analysis means for analyzing the stored data, and display means for displaying the analyzed data.
A network monitoring method comprising:
- an operating state-determining step of determining operating states of devices on a network using first monitoring means;
- and
- an operating state-monitoring step of monitoring the operating states of the devices on the network, based on an output from said first monitoring means, using second monitoring means.
A network monitoring method comprising:
- a first monitoring step having a collecting step of collecting data indicative of results of monitoring devices on a network, and an output step of outputting the collected data;
- and
- a second monitoring step having a storing step of storing the output data, an analysis step of analyzing the stored data, and a display step of displaying the analyzed data.
