Linux Server Monitoring. CPU to Syslog, All in One Place.

Monitor your DNS, RADIUS, billing, and edge Linux servers alongside your network gear.

NetSense Server Monitoring brings Linux hosts into the same dashboard as your OLTs, switches, and BNGs. Track CPU, memory, disks, temperature, and traffic over SNMP — with alerts for every parameter and full syslog capture.

Server Monitoring Capabilities

NetSense polls your Linux servers over SNMP — no proprietary agent required. Capture host vitals, every mounted disk, and every network interface alongside the rest of your infrastructure.

Host Vitals

  • CPU — Average and Per-Core

    Track aggregate CPU load and drill into individual cores to catch single-threaded bottlenecks.

  • Memory — Physical and Virtual

    Monitor RAM usage and swap activity to spot memory pressure before processes get killed.

  • Temperature

    Read on-board thermal sensors and get alerted before heat triggers throttling or a reboot.

  • Uptime & Availability

    Continuous availability tracking with an at-a-glance 100% / down history for the last 24 hours.

  • Device Information

    Auto-detect hostname, manufacturer, model, and IP for asset tracking inside the same UI.

Storage & Network

  • Disks — All Mount Points

    Every mounted filesystem found on the server is monitored for space, inodes, and growth trends.

  • Network — All Interfaces

    Per-interface traffic (in/out), errors, and discards with utilization charts and P95 calculations.

  • Bandwidth & P95

    Server Performance graph with Traffic, Latency, and Loss views — plus billable P95 today.

  • Syslog

    Forward syslog from the server to NetSense and correlate events with metric spikes in one timeline.

  • Alerts on Every Parameter

    Threshold and rate-of-change alerts on CPU, memory, temperature, disks, interfaces, and syslog.

Server Monitoring Features

Unified Dashboard

+
Linux servers sit beside OLTs, switches, and BNGs in one device tree — same UX, same alerts, same maps.

CPU Insights

+
Average and per-core CPU utilization with history, so you can separate runaway processes from real load.

Memory Monitoring

+
Physical and virtual memory usage with thresholds — see swap thrashing before it becomes downtime.

Disk Coverage

+
Every mount point discovered automatically. Capacity, growth, and full-disk alerts on each filesystem.

Interface Traffic

+
All network interfaces polled for traffic in/out, packet errors, and discards with utilization charts.

Temperature Sensors

+
Read CPU and chassis temperatures via SNMP for early warning on cooling and thermal-throttling issues.

Syslog Capture

+
Forward server syslog to NetSense and correlate log events with the exact moment metrics moved.

Alerts Everywhere

+
Alerts available on every parameter — CPU, memory, temp, disks, interfaces — with the same escalation engine.
