Monitoring In Remote Networks

Monitoring of remote networks is challenging task because you
need full access to the network resources that should be monitored
but it makes your network less secure. Secure alternative is to use
monitoring agents. Remote Network Agent (RNA) in IPHost Network
Monitor is a program that should be installed on a Windows server or
workstation located in remote network. Remote Network Agent
allows you to monitor servers (hosts) in hundreds of separate
networks from one central point. With Remote Network Agent you
can monitor all types of monitors available in IPHost Network
Monitor (SNMP, WMI, HTTP, Oracle, PING and many more).

RNA accepts commands from main IPHost Network Monitor

installation, checks availability and performance of monitored
resources and returns results back. Data transfer between IPHost
Network Monitor and Remote Network Agent is secured with SSL.
The first data exchange between central monitoring service and
agent is also protected by Connection ID key. To comply with your
company’s security policies we provide active and passive agents,
active agent connects with central monitoring server by itself so no
need to open any port on agent computer to accept inbound
connections, passive agents are used if you need to secure central
monitoring server.
