Polling and Monitoring

WhatsConnected provides map-level tools to test and monitor network device performance and help provide a view of the overall network health. The following polling and monitoring tools help you view specific device performance details:

• Ping Status/Latency. Use to poll devices and view the up or down status and response time.
• Interface Status/Utilization. Use to poll devices and view interface performance information.
• CPU Utilization. Use to poll devices and view CPU performance information.
• Memory Utilization. Use to poll devices and view memory use data.
