Network Device & SNMP Monitoring
Monitor your switches, routers, and firewalls alongside your servers. SNMP v1/v2c/v3 support with interface traffic, CPU, memory, and temperature metrics collected after each device is configured.
Built for teams monitoring production infrastructure

How It Works
Step 1
Add Device
Enter the IP and SNMP credentials. Supports v1, v2c, and v3.
Step 2
Configure Metrics
Select the device metrics and interfaces you want to monitor.
Step 3
Collect Metrics
Traffic, CPU, memory, and temperature polled at 5-minute intervals.
Step 4
Alert on Issues
Workflow triggers fire on interface down, traffic spikes, or unreachable devices.
-
SNMP Interface Monitoring
Add a device with SNMP credentials and collect interface, sensor, and traffic metrics without maintaining a separate monitoring stack.
-
Interface Traffic at 5-Min Intervals
Track inbound and outbound bytes per interface. Spot bandwidth hogs, detect anomalies, and capacity-plan with historical traffic data.
-
Unified Server + Network View
See network device metrics alongside server metrics in the same platform. Correlate a switch port saturation with the server behind it.

SNMP v3 With Full Security
For environments that require encrypted monitoring, Fivenines supports SNMP v3 with SHA and MD5 authentication plus AES and DES encryption. Configure auth and priv credentials per device - no global community strings exposed on your network.
For simpler setups, v1 and v2c community strings work out of the box. Mix and match across your device fleet.

Alerting on Network Events
Combine SNMP monitoring with Fivenines workflows. Trigger alerts when an interface goes down, traffic exceeds a threshold, or a device becomes unreachable. Route alerts to your network team's Slack channel while server alerts go to your ops team.
Create incidents automatically when critical network events happen - with full timeline from detection to resolution.
