Are you tired of dealing with slow network performance, dropped connections, and frustrated users? If so, you're not alone. These issues can be a major headache for IT professionals, but there are solutions for Fortigate SD-WAN Network Monitor. In this blog post, we'll show you how to become a hero by implementing Fortigate SD-WAN Network Monitor solutions and saving the day.

When coupled with a network observability platform, device telemetry provides network engineers and operators critical insight into cost, performance, reliability, and security. Learn how to create actionable results with device telemetry in our new article. For cloud network specialists, the landscape for their observability efforts includes a mix of physical and virtual networking devices.

Optimizing network security monitoring requires pursuing continuous improvement. Even when people have monitoring tools or processes, it’s always advisable to identify weak spots and look for ways to reduce or eliminate them. Here are five options to consider.

Enterprises that want to improve the performance of their network often look into limiting access to bandwidth-hogs such as social media and video streaming applications. But for those that really need to gain efficient network, this won’t be enough. You need to keep track of bandwidth usage regularly. While there are many tools to help you check bandwidth usage on network, sometimes finding KPIs specific to your organization can be painstaking.

Are you ready to fight for your network's performance and reliability? Transitioning to SD-WAN technology can be challenging without proper network visibility. It's time to take the blindfold off and gain control over your network with SD-WAN monitoring. Don't let a lack of visibility hold you back from reaching your goals. With SD-WAN monitoring, you can track your network's progress, identify areas for improvement, and ensure it meets your expectations.

Today’s Cognitive Network Operations Center (Cognitive NOC) is a significant advancement that employs artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to dramatically modernize and improve network management and operations. Working together, the NOC and IT Process Automation (ITPA) propel superior efficiency and effectiveness of network operations, minimize downtime, lower operational costs, and overcome additional challenges in optimizing network performance.

So far in this series, I’ve outlined how a scaling enterprise’s accumulation of data (data gravity) struggles against three consistent forces: cost, performance, and reliability. This struggle changes an enterprise; this is “digital transformation,” affecting everything from how business domains are represented in IT to software architectures, development and deployment models, and even personnel structures.

Prometheus remote write protocol is used by Prometheus for sending data to remote storage systems such as VictoriaMetrics. See these docs on how to setup Prometheus to send the data to VictoriaMetrics. This protocol is very simple - it writes the collected raw samples into WriteRequest protobuf message, then compresses the message with Snappy compression algorithm and sends it to the remote storage in an HTTTP POST request.

When your network is slow or goes offline, it’s more than just an inconvenience, especially for organizations relying on the network for business. Outages and slow performance can cause significant downtime capable of hurting a company’s bottom line and even putting it at risk in the event of a security breach. A network monitoring system allows you to easily look into the different factors bogging down your bandwidth.
