Link Analyst is: A Network Route Mapping, Device Uptime Tracking, Response Monitoring & Analysis Tool

A Powerful, Intuitive Solution for Managing Critical Networks & the Routes That Connect Them

Map Your Network Quickly and Easily
Link Analyst automatically creates a map of any segment or group of systems on your LAN. LAN and device mapping provides both a heads-up view of the LAN, and shows current network Assets with a visual grade of the current response times. "Drill-down" is available for individual station statistics, and tabs for map-specific details show device addresses and various names (IP, DNS, IPX, NetBIOS), response time histories, and configuration status.

Control What, When and Where
Device- and service-specific response time events that are below user-defined acceptable levels are flagged as critical for event notification and system-down warnings. Devices not flagged as critical that are down are simply grayed out on the map. Icons can be customized for varying levels of response time degradation. Triggers can be set to cause any recorded event to generate an alarm. You'll know "What's down" before the crisis phone call and be well on your way to solving the problem before the complaints begin pouring in. Link Analyst's sophisticated alarm actions allow you to set the event notification that best fits your situation. Multiple alarm actions can be triggered by the same alarm. Example actions include:
