FiveNines

Network Device & SNMP Monitoring

Monitor your switches, routers, and firewalls alongside your servers. SNMP v1/v2c/v3 support with automated OID discovery - add a device IP and FiveNines figures out what to monitor. Interface traffic, CPU, memory, and temperature metrics collected without manual configuration.

How It Works

Add Device

Enter the IP and SNMP credentials. Supports v1, v2c, and v3.

Auto-Discover

FiveNines walks the OID tree and discovers interfaces, sensors, and metrics.

Collect Metrics

Traffic, CPU, memory, and temperature polled at 5-minute intervals.

Alert on Issues

Workflow triggers fire on interface down, traffic spikes, or unreachable devices.

Automated OID Discovery

No manual MIB imports or OID configuration. Add a device and FiveNines discovers interfaces, sensors, and metrics within seconds.

Interface Traffic at 5-Min Intervals

Track inbound and outbound bytes per interface. Spot bandwidth hogs, detect anomalies, and capacity-plan with historical traffic data.

Unified Server + Network View

See network device metrics alongside server metrics in the same platform. Correlate a switch port saturation with the server behind it.

SNMP v3 With Full Security

For environments that require encrypted monitoring, FiveNines supports SNMP v3 with SHA and MD5 authentication plus AES and DES encryption. Configure auth and priv credentials per device - no global community strings exposed on your network.

For simpler setups, v1 and v2c community strings work out of the box. Mix and match across your device fleet.

Alerting on Network Events

Combine SNMP monitoring with FiveNines workflows. Trigger alerts when an interface goes down, traffic exceeds a threshold, or a device becomes unreachable. Route alerts to your network team's Slack channel while server alerts go to your ops team.

Create incidents automatically when critical network events happen - with full timeline from detection to resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which SNMP versions are supported?
FiveNines supports SNMP v1, v2c, and v3. For v3, you can configure authentication and privacy protocols including SHA/MD5 authentication and AES/DES encryption.
What types of network devices can I monitor?
Any device that exposes an SNMP interface: managed switches, routers, firewalls, access points, UPS units, and NAS devices. If it speaks SNMP, FiveNines can poll it.
How often are SNMP metrics collected?
The default polling interval is 5 minutes. This balances data granularity with device load. Custom intervals are available on Enterprise plans.
Can I get alerts when a network device goes down?
Yes. Use workflow triggers to monitor device reachability and interface status. Alerts can be sent via Email, Slack, Discord, Telegram, Pushover, or Webhooks.
Does FiveNines auto-discover device capabilities?
Yes. When you add a device, FiveNines walks the SNMP OID tree to discover available metrics - interfaces, CPU, memory, temperature sensors, and more. No manual OID configuration required.
