Tools for Network Diagnostics

With the elegant application interfaces providing a dashboard and tabbed tool display, the following network diagnostic tools are included in the suite:

DNS Audit

pt360 Tool Suite DNS Audit matches each IP address in a specified range of IP addresses to its domain name, and then checks back from the domain name to the IP Address to see if the resolution is the same forward and in reverse. DNS Audit also displays NetBIOS Host Name, Host, and LMHost for complete visibility 

Enhanced Ping

pt360 Tool Suite Enhanced Ping continuously pings a device and logs running response times to help you diagnose packet loss. Data can be exported on demand to HTML, XML and CSV files.

• Quickly identify if a device has performance issues
• Review information like status, average ping response time and packet loss in a single interface 

Graphical Ping

pt360 Tool Suite Graphical Ping is a powerful and versatile graphing tool that shows the response time of a device. See data in different views (spline chart, bar chart, and area chart) and modify ICMP parameters as needed. Collected data can be exported for further analysis.

• Graphical review how devices response to a continuous ping
• View data on intervals from 1 minute to 1 hour 

Encrypted Credential Store

Consolidate Windows, SSH, FTP and SNMP credentials in a single location for quick and simple diagnostics. The Credential Store utilises 256-bit AES Encryption and provides password key access for additional protection.

• Add, modify, and delete the shared credential database.
• Define device groups so a single password (sign on) can be used to authenticate across the group.
• Share credentials across device groups safely and automatically. 

Ping Scan

pt360 Tool Suite Ping Scan fires ICMP ECHO requests across a range of IP addresses and builds a spreadsheet of the results. The clean visual display of IP addresses can be filtered by which are in use and which are not responding. DNS information is also provided for each responding address. 

Port Scan

pt360 Tool Suite Port Scan tests for open TCP ports on devices and presents a colour-codes results for simple analysis. The most common port names are conveniently preloaded, but custom service names can be added easily. Fast and easy to configure, Port Scan can be customised for your personal view. Port scans can be scaled to match particular machine abilities, characteristics and firewall policies. Multiple export formats make for optimal presentation of the data in differing circumstances and situations.

• Identifies if port is opened, closed, or unresponsive
• Export results to easy to read reports 

SNMP Scan

pt360 Tool Suite SNMP Scan discovers detailed information for a device: System Name, Description, Location, Object ID, Up Time, and SNMP Status. Results can be filtered by responding nodes and exported to .CSV and HTML.

• Quickly retrieve detailed information on a device that saves considerable amount of your time
• SNMP-enabled devices can be viewed in the pt360 monitoring dashboard 

Trace Route

pt360 Tool Suite Trace Route finds the route from an IP address to any other address and displays the response time and packet lost associated with each hop to the destination. Trace Route assembles a real-time display of resolved DNS, response times, packet loss and the number of success / failures. This helps to identify where a failure is occurring from hop to hop. 

Traffic Jam

pt360 Tool Suite Traffic Jam is a random traffic generator for the WAN. Packet size, circuit bandwidth, and load percentage are variable and customisable. Traffic Jam bombards WAN pipes and links with specified loads of random packets to measure network performance under known load conditions. It can be used to simulate the latency issues, jitter, high loss and drop rates experienced under peak usage conditions for critical applications and thus allows for solving small problems before they grow into large costly problems.

• Stress test pipes and end-points to understand how your network reacts
• Verify the need to upgrade specific choke points in your network
