Performance Baseline

Foglight NMS Performance Baseline automatically analyzes collected data to identify changes in network behavior and establishes a baseline that represents the regular and expected activity of a device and network. The established baseline accurately reflects your customer's use of the IT infrastructure by taking into account patterns and variations in usage – for example, increased processor utilization on Monday mornings at 9:00am. Performance Baseline continuously logs subsequent activity of a device and compares it to baseline. Once irregular behavior is detected, Foglight NMS produces a qualified alert that contains details to be used as a starting point to help guide the troubleshooting and remediation process.

  • Reports more accurately the monitors that vary during a business cycle
  • Identifies abnormal increases and decreases in network utilization, performance, and quality to shorten mean time to repair
  • Eliminates false positive alerts caused by normal behavior on the network
  • Reduces manual configuration for administering setting and thresholds
