VisualPulse is an easy-to-use Web-based monitoring tool that automatically reports the availability of network devices,
Web pages, and TCP ports, and alerts you to any potential problems. New traceroute feature automatically captures and
records connectivity information for every hop when problems occur, to help you find the cause of a problem fast!
When a VisualPulse threshold is triggered, the new automatic traceroute facility captures all IP routing and hop information
from the server to the point being monitored, storing the results in a log history file. The traceroute data is essential
for determining where in the Internet a routing problem affected performance. The automated traceroute logging capability
ensures that problems can be investigated regardless of when they occur.
VisualPulse continuously gathers and summarizes latency and availability data for all three data sources (ping, HTTP, and
TCP) at regular intervals. A variety of standard reports are available for easy reporting - such as an overall summary, last
hour, last 24 hours - along with user-defined options for custom reports. The information is reported in real-time and
historically, so that current and past problems may be readily identified and investigated. Global or individual threshold
values may be easily configured for automated alerting of potential problems. Problem notifications are indicated by color
changes in the reports and by e-mail alerts.
VisualPulse can be easily integrated with the VisualRoute Server product, instantly providing visual traceroute information
to the servers or sites being monitored. This integration provides IP routing and response time information that helps
identify exactly where the actual problem is occurring.
