Practical applications of Auvik’s network visibility tools
Discover how Auvik’s network visibility solution helps tackle common network challenges. These use cases demonstrate how Auvik enables efficient path tracing, multi-layer topology analysis, root cause analysis, and more for improved network management.
End-to-end path tracing for troubleshooting network connectivity issues
When troubleshooting connectivity problems, you need to see exactly where traffic flows through your network. Auvik’s real-time path visualization immediately shows you the complete route packets take between any two points.
With Auvik’s network visibility tools, you select source and destination devices to see each hop along the path, including routers, switches, and firewalls involved in the connection. You can click on any device in the path to see packet discards, transfer speeds, up/down status, CPU, memory, and device addresses. The network visibility solution automatically refreshes to show the real-time status of each connection in the path, so you can immediately see when links recover or when new problems emerge during troubleshooting.

Multi-layer topology analysis for network segmentation and troubleshooting
Complex network segmentation requires visibility across multiple layers of your network infrastructure, but traditional tools often only show you fragments of the complete picture. Auvik generates dynamic topology maps that represent your network infrastructure across multiple layers.
Auvik pulls data from sources like CDP, LLDP, and forwarding tables to model the network at each layer. With a single click, you can toggle between Layer 1 (physical connections), Layer 2 (switching paths), and Layer 3 (routing information) perspectives of your network. Our network visibility software color-codes different segments like VLANs or subnets and highlights interdependencies between layers, making it easy to trace how traffic traverses your network from end to end. This multi-layered approach gives you complete visibility into how your physical infrastructure supports your logical network design.

Device health and performance monitoring for proactive issue prevention
Device performance problems often develop gradually, but without proper network visibility and monitoring, you only discover issues after users have been affected. Auvik continuously polls every device on your network to maintain real-time visibility into their operational state.
Our network visibility platform collects performance metrics through SNMP, API calls, WMI, and other protocols customized to each device type. You can view utilization metrics for CPU, memory, disk space, and interface bandwidth directly on each device’s dashboard. Auvik enables you to set custom thresholds for each metric based on your specific requirements, with color-coded indicators that show when values approach critical levels. Auvik’s network visibility solution tracks these metrics historically, creating trend graphs that help you identify recurring patterns and capacity issues before they become service-affecting problems.

Real-time device inventory visibility
Maintaining an accurate inventory of network devices becomes increasingly difficult as your network grows and changes. But it’s essential for security and compliance. Auvik automatically builds and maintains your network inventory using multiple discovery methods.
Our network visibility software employs SNMP, CDP, LLDP, and ARP tables to discover and identify every device on your network. For each device, Auvik collects detailed information, including make, model, serial number, firmware version, and all connected interfaces. The system continuously scans your network, updating the inventory in real-time as devices are added, removed, or modified. You can quickly locate specific equipment using powerful search and filter capabilities that work across any attribute in the inventory. This automated approach ensures that your device documentation always reflects the current state of your network.

Incident investigation and root cause analysis
When incidents occur, understanding what changed is key to resolution. Auvik captures a comprehensive history of your network’s state and behavior for effective troubleshooting.
Auvik keeps track of configuration changes, performance metrics, and network events in a timeline you can easily search through when you’re troubleshooting. It helps connect related incidents across multiple devices, showing you how a problem in one area might be causing issues elsewhere. You can replay network conditions from any point in time to see exactly how the topology and traffic patterns looked when an issue occurred. The platform retains this historical data for extended periods, giving you the ability to identify long-term patterns and conduct thorough root cause analysis across weeks or months of network activity.

What is network visibility software?
Network visibility software provides a comprehensive view of your network infrastructure, devices, connections, and traffic patterns in real time. It automatically discovers and maps your entire network, monitoring performance metrics and alerting you to potential issues before they impact users. Good network visibility solutions serve as your single source of truth for network documentation, troubleshooting, and planning.
How does Auvik provide network visibility?
Auvik provides network visibility by automatically discovering your network devices and mapping their connections using protocols like SNMP, CDP, LLDP, and ARP. It continuously monitors device performance, configuration changes, and traffic patterns across multiple layers of your network infrastructure. Auvik presents this information through intuitive maps, dashboards, and alerts that give you instant visibility into your network’s health and behavior.
Can Auvik track network traffic across multiple sites?
Auvik can track network traffic across multiple distributed sites from a single dashboard. The network visibility platform collects and analyzes traffic data from each location, allowing you to monitor bandwidth usage, identify top talkers, and troubleshoot connectivity issues across your entire organization. You can easily switch between site views or get a consolidated overview of your entire network ecosystem.
How secure is the data collected by Auvik’s network visibility tools?
Auvik secures all collected network data using enterprise-grade encryption both in transit and at rest. It operates with least-privilege principles, allowing you to define precisely what information is collected and who can access it. Auvik undergoes regular security audits and compliance certifications to ensure your sensitive network information remains protected at all times.
Can Auvik give a complete view of my network, regardless of size or complexity?
Auvik provides a complete view of your network, regardless of its size or complexity, by automatically discovering and documenting all network elements. Our network visibility software works with equipment from virtually any vendor and supports diverse network architectures, including traditional on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments. Auvik’s multi-layer visibility approach ensures you can see and understand your entire network, from physical connections to logical overlays.
How does Auvik help identify network issues with its visibility tools?
Auvik helps identify network issues by continuously monitoring device health, configuration changes, and traffic patterns to detect anomalies before they cause outages. It highlights potential issues and provides the insights needed to investigate and identify the root cause, not just the symptoms of a problem. You receive context-rich alerts with direct links to the affected devices and recommended actions, dramatically reducing the time needed to identify and resolve network issues.
