IPNetwork Monitor is a self-hosted, on-premise network monitoring tool that provides 24/7 visibility into IT infrastructure while keeping all configuration data, credentials, and metrics within your own network.
What is IPNetwork Monitor?
IPNetwork Monitor is a self-hosted monitoring solution that continuously checks the availability and performance of servers, network devices, and applications. It accepts inputs via protocols like PING, TCP, UDP, SNMP, WMI, SSH, and ODBC, then produces real-time dashboards, alerts, and historical reports. The software runs on Windows and is developed by IPNetwork Monitor (company name not explicitly stated on the page). It is not a hosted SaaS; all data stays on your own hardware.
