The Remote Monitoring Standard is defined in the Request for Comments 1757 (RFC 1757) which defines objects for managing devices employed with Remote Monitoring Probes. Remote Monitoring is designed to provide dynamic monitoring and diagnostic for Distributed Local Area Networks (LAN). A Local Area Network comprised of several RMON probes deployed in different vital devices would work hand in hand with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Agents enabling collection of pertinent network information. RMON and SNMP Agents are queried by the monitoring station for pertinent network information. Data gathered from these agents are analyzed by the monitoring station and transformed into a more readable format. Important information collected by the monitoring station from RMON and SNMP agents are displayed in a Graphical User Interface for easier understanding and readability. In cases when there are data that are diagnosed to be unusual, these data are then passed to the Inference Engine to be referenced to a Knowledge Based Database for probable root causes of unusual operations in the managed network. Probable causes of unusual activity is/are then listed for easier troubleshooting. The system is developed to monitor the health of the managed LAN and for network administrators to have an easier time troubleshooting networks.
