| ResponseWatch uses an embedded agent in the Cisco IOS called IP SLA to gather network performance monitoring statistics. IP SLA measures response times, network resource availability, application performance, and jitter, connect time, throughput and packet loss. Once any performance drops below a certain level, availability drops or latency increases. ResponseWatch alerts use Syslog messages direct to the management workstation, rather than email alerts, making it an ideal adjunct to an event management system. |
