Monitoring Windows with NetCrunch 7.1.2.

Tutorial. Network dependency explains relations between the nodes in your network. For example, for nodes behind a switch, it only makes sense to monitor them when the switch is up and responding. If the switch goes down, network dependency can automatically disable monitoring of all nodes that are connected to this switch. You will only receive single important information about the switch down instead of dozens of messages about nodes and services down that are dependent on this switch.

Tutorial. Running out of free disk space on the server where important application is hosted not only disrupts the performance of employees or customers who use it to accomplish their daily tasks, but can result in serious data loss, or even crash the entire server. NetCrunch makes it easy for you act before such situation takes place. You can use the predefined rule to monitor free space of C: drive in NetCrunch, or create a new one for monitoring applications running on another drive (D; E etc.).

Tutorial. You can benefit not only from real-time network monitoring in NetCrunch, but also use the gathered statistics for network capacity planning or migration analysis. Such reports are also great for root cause analysis while troubleshooting. Here’s how you can use bandwidth utilization report to pinpoint the source of the decreased available bandwidth on some workstations connected to particular switch.
