Auvik Network Fault Management System
Catch network faults early, investigate faster, and recover before users notice

See how Auvik helps resolve network faults and reduce downtime
Every network fault affects your operations differently, but fast resolution is always critical. Auvik’s fault management tools give you real-time visibility into problems, help you identify root causes efficiently, and reduce downtime for your team and users.
Real-time fault detection and alerting
When your network’s devices fail or connectivity drops, every moment counts. Traditional monitoring leaves you reacting to user complaints and scrambling to resolve issues, which only increases downtime and frustrates your end users.
Auvik’s network fault management software takes a different approach:
- Continuous SNMP polling runs by default every 60 seconds to keep device status up to date, while faster ping health checks (as low as 1 second) watch for quick connectivity changes.
- Default automated ping tests require 3 consecutive failures before marking devices offline, which prevents false alarms that waste your time.
- Teams get immediate notifications for device failures, interface down events, and connectivity issues through over 50 pre-configured alerts tuned to industry standards.
- Real-time tracking of CPU, memory, bandwidth, latency, packet loss, and interface errors gives you comprehensive visibility
With Auvik, your team can catch network faults the moment they occur and resolve issues before users even notice them.

Network fault investigation and data visualization
An alert just came in, but what’s behind it? Without a clear view of where and why the issue occurred, troubleshooting often turns into guesswork as you’re forced to hop between systems and check device after device, all while fielding complaints from frustrated users.
Auvik’s network fault management software simplifies the investigation process:
- Continuous topology mapping and automated discovery across Layers 1, 2, and 3 keep your network views current.
- Active alerts appear directly on your network topology maps, so you can instantly see where faults are happening.
- Interactive topology maps show devices and links with active alerts at a glance, while drill-down views reveal interface statistics, configurations, and system logs.
- Northstar path visualization traces end-to-end network paths and identifies performance issues at each hop.
This way, your team can pinpoint root causes in minutes instead of hours and dramatically reduce mean time to resolution.

Alert prioritization and noise reduction for fault response
A core switch goes down, and suddenly, all hell breaks loose as dozens of alerts flood in from downstream devices. Too many alerts can be just as disruptive as too few, creating alert fatigue and making it hard to focus on and fix real problems.
Auvik’s Smart Alert Suppression changes the game:
- Automatically identifies downstream devices and suppresses redundant alerts so your team sees the root cause, not multiple symptoms.
- Topology-based correlation highlights the true source of faults.
- Device-level alerting prevents interface notifications from flooding your inbox when a single device fails.
- Occurrence delays and configurable thresholds ensure alerts only fire after multiple failures.
- Integrations with ITSM platforms allow automatic ticket creation for faster response.
This approach lets your team focus on critical faults, respond faster, and keep the network running smoothly.

Network fault recovery through configuration management
You’re managing multiple office locations, and every site claims they need more bandwidth. ChA network fault strikes. You need to recover quickly, but without knowing what changed recently, you’re guessing. Hours of troubleshooting stretch ahead of you.
Auvik gives you the visibility and tools to take control:
- Automatic backups every 60 minutes maintain a complete version history.
- Configuration comparison tools highlight exactly what changed between versions, with color-coded differences for added, edited, or removed elements in seconds.
- Alert you to any configuration changes.
- Exportable version history lets you retrieve previous configurations for manual restoration using device-native tools.
With Auvik, recovery becomes faster and more predictable, and teams have the confidence that comes from always being able to roll back to a known-good state.

Multi-site and multi-tenant network fault monitoring and coordination
ManManaging multiple networks across different locations and clients can quickly become a nightmare. Different monitoring systems, inconsistent standards, and remote site issues drain time and resources.
Auvik’s centralized dashboard gives you single-pane-of-glass visibility:
- Apply consistent fault detection policies and thresholds automatically across all sites or client networks.
- Standardize monitoring so every location is covered, no matter where it is.
- Unified alert management shows issues across all networks in one view.
- Coordinate fault response efficiently, maintain oversight of all locations or client networks simultaneously, and resolve issues faster without juggling multiple tools.
Whether you’re managing a corporate IT environment or delivering services to multiple clients, Auvik ensures consistent monitoring, faster issue resolution, and smoother operations.

What is fault management in networking, and how can Auvik help?
Fault management is the process of detecting, diagnosing, and fixing issues that disrupt your network before they turn into full-blown outages. Auvik handles this through continuous monitoring, intelligent alerting, and visual troubleshooting tools that show you exactly what’s wrong and where. You’ll catch problems early and resolve them fast without the usual guesswork.
How can Auvik help prevent faults from recurring?
Our platform tracks historical performance data and identifies patterns that point to recurring weak spots in your network. You can analyze trends over time to see which devices or links are causing repeated issues. This lets you fix the underlying problems proactively instead of just putting out the same fires over and over.
How does Auvik visualize faults to accelerate troubleshooting?
Active alerts appear directly on your network topology maps, so you see exactly where faults are happening at a glance. Color-coded device status and dependency diagrams show you what’s impacted downstream. No more logging into multiple devices or playing detective. Now you’ve got a visual map that tells the whole story instantly.
How does Auvik’s alerting system help resolve faults faster?
We give you over 50 pre-configured alerts tuned to industry standards, and you can customize them to match your specific needs. These alerts integrate directly with your topology views, so when something breaks, you see the alert and the affected devices in one place. It cuts your troubleshooting time down because you’re not hunting for context.
How does Auvik leverage traffic analytics to detect network faults?
Our TrafficInsights feature analyzes NetFlow, IPFIX, and sFlow data to track bandwidth usage and traffic patterns across your network. When traffic behavior changes suddenly or bottlenecks appear, you’ll spot potential issues before they knock things offline. It’s like having an early warning system that catches problems other tools miss.
Can Auvik monitor latency and jitter to prevent performance-related faults?
Absolutely. We continuously collect latency and jitter metrics and visualize trends so you can spot performance degradation early. This is especially valuable for VoIP and video applications that need consistent performance. You’ll diagnose issues before users start complaining about call quality or lag.
Does Auvik support remote troubleshooting during network faults?
Yes, and it’s a huge time-saver. You can access devices securely through in-app SSH or Telnet directly from our interface without needing to be on-site. When faults happen at remote locations, you’ll troubleshoot and resolve them immediately without the cost and delay of truck rolls.
Can Auvik handle faults in multi-vendor or hybrid network environments?
Our network fault management system works with over 15,000 device types from 700+ vendors, so mixed environments aren’t a problem. Whether you’re running Cisco, Juniper, Meraki, or a combination of on-premises and cloud infrastructure, Auvik monitors and analyzes faults across all of it. You get unified visibility regardless of how varied your network is.
