Engineering Network Monitoring Installation Guide328

Network monitoring is an essential part of any IT infrastructure, as it allows administrators to keep track of the health and performance of their network devices. By monitoring network traffic, bandwidth utilization, and other key metrics, administrators can identify and resolve potential problems before they cause major outages.

There are a number of different network monitoring tools available, but one of the most popular is Engineering Network Monitoring (ENM). ENM is a free and open-source tool that provides a comprehensive set of features for network monitoring and analysis.

In this guide, we will show you how to install and configure ENM on a Linux server. We will also provide some tips on how to use ENM to monitor your network.

Prerequisites

Before you can install ENM, you will need to have the following:* A Linux server with at least 1GB of RAM and 10GB of hard disk space.
* A root user account on the server.
* A network interface card (NIC) that is connected to the network you want to monitor.

Installation

To install ENM, follow these steps:1. Download the latest version of ENM from the official website.
2. Extract the contents of the tarball to a directory on your server.
3. Change to the directory where you extracted the tarball.
4. Run the following command to install ENM:
```
./configure
make
make install
```
5. Once ENM is installed, you can start it by running the following command:
```
/usr/local/bin/enm
```

Configuration

Once ENM is installed, you will need to configure it to monitor your network. To do this, open the ENM configuration file, which is located at /etc/. In the configuration file, you will need to specify the following:* The IP address of the server that you want to monitor
* The port that ENM will listen on
* The SNMP community string that you want to use
* The polling interval that you want to use
Once you have made the necessary changes to the configuration file, save the file and restart ENM.

Usage

Once ENM is configured, you can start using it to monitor your network. To do this, open a web browser and navigate to the following URL:```
localhost:8080
```

This will open the ENM web interface. From the web interface, you can view a variety of information about your network, including:* The status of your network devices
* The traffic that is flowing through your network
* The bandwidth that is being used
* The latency of your network
You can also use the ENM web interface to configure alerts that will notify you of potential problems. To do this, click on the "Alerts" tab and then click on the "Add Alert" button. In the "Add Alert" dialog box, you can specify the following:* The metric that you want to monitor
* The threshold that you want to use
* The method that you want to use to receive alerts
Once you have configured an alert, ENM will monitor the specified metric and send you an alert if the threshold is exceeded.

Tips

Here are a few tips for using ENM to monitor your network:* Use a variety of metrics to monitor your network. This will give you a more complete picture of the health and performance of your network.
* Set thresholds that are appropriate for your network. If the thresholds are too high, you will not receive alerts for potential problems. If the thresholds are too low, you will receive too many alerts.
* Use alerts to notify you of potential problems. This will allow you to respond to problems before they cause major outages.
* Regularly review the ENM web interface to identify trends and patterns in your network traffic. This information can help you to identify potential problems and improve the performance of your network.
