Track and troubleshoot faster with new network widgets in custom dashboards

You can now add a powerful set of network monitoring widgets to your custom dashboards in Site24x7. From real-time device health and interface performance to configuration insights and topology maps, these widgets give you complete visibility into your network—right where you monitor everything else.

Why this matters 
  1. ​Centralized network visibility
    No more switching between tools. Get a single-pane view of your entire infrastructure—including networks, applications, servers, the cloud, and more.
  2. Deep traffic analysis
    Quickly spot traffic spikes, identify high-usage interfaces, and detect anomalies using NetFlow insights.
  3. Proactive configuration management
    Track configuration changes, monitor compliance, and stay ahead of firmware vulnerabilities—all in one view.
  4. Faster issue resolution
    Use real-time widgets to detect outages, isolate performance bottlenecks, and reduce time to resolution.
Use case
Your network slows down unexpectedly. By adding the Top-N Interfaces, Flow Type, and NetFlow Widgets to your dashboard, you can instantly identify interfaces with abnormal traffic patterns or errors. Pair this with NCM Change Trend and other widgets to check for recent configuration changes or traffic surges to pinpoint the root cause in minutes and restore performance quickly.
​
What each widget does and how it helps
  • Interfaces Health
    • Shows the operational status of all interfaces.
    • Helps you quickly identify unstable links.
  • Devices Down
    • Lists all unreachable or failed network devices.
    • Helps prioritize outages and focus troubleshooting.
  • Interfaces Down
    • Displays interfaces that are in down, trouble, or critical states.
    • Useful for catching broken or disabled connections early.
  • Top-N Interfaces
    • Highlights interfaces based on traffic, errors, or usage metrics.
    • Helps detect bandwidth-heavy links or performance bottlenecks.
  • Layer 2 Map
    • Visualizes Layer 2 and Layer 3 connections between devices.
    • Simplifies diagnosis of misconfigurations or topology loops.
  • Topology Map
    • Maps out end-to-end routing paths and device relationships.
    • Provides clear insights into your network hierarchy and design.
  • Infrastructure Map
    • Offers a complete view of network devices, servers, and connected infrastructure.
    • Ideal for monitoring complex or distributed environments.
  • NCM Summary
    • Displays configuration backup status, policy violations, and change details.
    • Helps maintain backup consistency and configuration integrity.
  • NCM Vulnerabilities
    • Flags firmware vulnerabilities by vendor, model, and version.
    • Supports risk prioritization and patch planning.
  • NCM Widgets
    • Custom views of backup states, compliance checks, and configuration metrics.
    • Helps enforce policies and monitor device posture.
  • Configuration Change Trend
    • Visual timeline of configuration changes across devices.
    • Makes it easier to correlate changes with incidents or slowdowns.
  • NetFlow - Flow Type
    • Categorizes traffic by flow type (NetFlow, sFlow, JFlow, etc.).
    • Helps detect unusual patterns or protocol spikes.
  • NetFlow Widgets
    • Visualize top apps, conversations, IPs, and QoS metrics.
    • Provides actionable traffic insights for bandwidth planning and security.
  • Interface Performance
    • Monitors real-time metrics of network interfaces.
    • Helps optimize performance and spot issues quickly.
  • Network Tree
    • Displays a hierarchical view of network categories and monitors with their statuses.
    • Helps assess device health at a glance using state-based color and count indicators.
  • Alarms for a Device
    • Lists the outages that occurred in a specific device.
    • Helps prioritize troubleshooting and track recurring issues.
  • SNMP Trap Alarms
    • Shows alarms triggered by SNMP traps for critical network events.
    • Helps troubleshoot device failures and ensure stable connectivity.
  • Devices with Alarms
    • Lists devices currently in alarm state with a detailed reason and the duration.
    • Helps reduce downtime and improve reliability with faster root cause analysis.
Enhance network observability with theses widgets
  • Quickly identify recent or unassigned alarms for network devices by toggling the Remove Acknowledged option in the Alarm Summary widget.
  • Compare a specific performance counter—like buffer failures—across several network devices using the Performance Attribute-Tabular widget.
  • View all performance counters or interfaces under a single device to monitor its performance with tabular widgets.
  • Use the Filter by Threshold option to instantly identify interfaces that exceed defined limits—like spotting bandwidth usage over 30%.
These widgets, when brought together in a custom dashboard, give your network team focused visibility and faster control over every layer of your infrastructure. 

We’ll continue adding new widgets regularly to expand your monitoring capabilities. Stay tuned for upcoming updates!
