IP SLA Monitoring
Cisco's IP SLA technology provides an amazing opportunity for companies using Cisco IOS based equipment to proactively monitor the availability and performance of their Cisco based networks. Organizations typically utilize relatively basic network monitoring software to track and trend the performance of their networks. This is traditionally done with ICMP based availability software.
The challenge with this approach is all of the metrics collected are from the perspective of the ICMP server itself. The problem with this approach is that it does not provide true link state statistics. For VoIP monitoring it is critical to understand the performance of key links within your VoIP infrastructure. To monitor the performance of your WAN service provider it is key that the metrics that you are utilizing to assess your provider's performance are accurate.
Cisco's IP SLA technology provides an excellent mechanism to test the health and performance of Cisco based networks. The challenge that most companies have with Cisco's IP SLA solution is that there is no facility for collecting, storing and presenting the IP SLA metrics. Monolith.s Metric Manager for Cisco IP SLA provides a solution to this problem. Metric Manager provides a highly scalable, 100% web based solution for collecting, trending, thresholding and graphing Cisco IP SLA data.

Metric Manager – Easy Access to Make Informed Decisions
Metric Manager's IP SLA solution provides automated and dynamic reporting of the most key IP SLA metrics – availability, RTT, packet loss and jitter. Metric Manager tracks and presents this information via dynamic graphs in hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly time increments. Metric Manager supports collection of these metrics in customer defined time increments. Metric Manager also provides automated Top N reporting of collected metrics.
