Real-Time Computer Network Monitoring and Optimisation: An SNMP-Based Dashboard and Application at FaCENA-UNNE

Abstract

In this paper I present the development of an interactive control panel for the management and monitoring of network devices in the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences and Surveying (FaCENA), as a research progress within the framework of a grant for the study and application of the SNMP protocol. The application uses the SNMP protocol in its different versions as a basis for the collection of performance and status metrics and seeks to improve the administration of the network infrastructure by means of real-time visualization of the status of routers, switches and access points. In addition, it integrates automatic alerts and recommendations based on empirical data to optimize bandwidth and quality of service in the face of high demand events. The methodological approach combines action research and systematic review to align the tool's functionalities with the institution's specific needs.
