This is a presentation about Cisco routers, of course it applies to all other types of routers that exist. We advise you to contact each manufacturer to obtain the OIDs, which correspond specifically to each brand, so there is no limit to the type of router or manufacturer that you can control with Monitorpack solutions.

A non-exhaustive list of the most commonly recognized Cisco routers

Cisco ISR (Integrated Services Routers)

ISR 4000 Series (ex: Cisco ISR 4321, ISR 4331): These models are widely used in businesses for their versatility and their ability to integrate various services (security, voice, WAN, SD-WAN). ISR 1000 Series.

Cisco Catalyst 8000 Series Edge Platforms

This modern line, which largely replaces ISRs, is designed for cloud-oriented and SD-WAN environments.

Cisco ASR (Aggregation Services Routers)

ASR 1000 Series (e.g. ASR 1001-X, ASR 1002)

Cisco Meraki MX

These routers are very popular with small and medium-sized businesses. Examples: Meraki MX67, MX84.

The Monitorpack team regularly provides useful metrics to easily monitor your applications, devices and systems. These are basic measurements, if you want to go further Monitorpack software Guard is able to check all performance counters, services, processes, ports, event IDs, existing printers and shares in your IT environment.

In the Guard console

In the Monitorpack Guard console you can use the Monitoring Port alerts or the Monitoring Web Probe alerts if you want to control the response times.

In the SNMP console

In the Monitorpack SNMP console you can use the Monitoring SNMP alerts if you want to control the OIDs.
