Seamless Enterprise Monitoring and Data Collection
Netreo requires no agents. Instead it uses standards-based or vendor-specific technologies and APIs to collect, monitor, analyze, and report on all the IT resources in your infrastructure. Netreo is designed to be transparent to the user and administrators of the system, allowing for seamless monitoring of any network-connected device or application, whether hosted locally, or in a private or public cloud environment.
Baseline Statistics
Netreo is designed to collect a ‘baseline’ of data across any SNMP compliant device type, which typically includes:
- CPU
- Memory
- Disk usage
- Disk I/O
- Network bandwidth
- Network errors
- Round-trip latency
Netreo uses WMI/Powershell for data collection in a Windows environment. In addition to the baseline stats above, you’ll also get instant visibility into:
- CPU usage per-process
- CPU Context switches
- Number of running processes
- Memory usage per-process
- Disk usage per volume
- Disk I/O per volume
- Disk Queue statistics
- Service status
- Layer 7 application testing (DNS, FTP, Web, Database, etc)
In a VMWare environment, Netreo will connect to the VCenter API to automatically detect new hosts, guests, and datastores as they are configured in the environment. Netreo collects appropriate metrics based on the guest OS, but also includes virtualization specific statistics like:
- Device / Kernel / Queue latency per datastore
- Guest I/O usage per datastore
- Host I/O usage per datastore
Linux systems are monitored using SNMP, and in addition to the baseline statistics detailed above, we also collect:
- CPU usage per-process
- Memory usage per-process
- Swap utilization
- Disk usage per mount point
- Process status
- Layer 7 application testing (DNS, FTP, Web, Database, etc)

SNMP
SMNP is the standards-based way to collect data from any device that conforms to the MIB-II specification and is the default method for most infrastructure devices such as routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, wireless gear, and Linux/Unix servers.
Our polling engine is designed to be easily extended so that new device types can be monitored quickly and easily with minimal administrative effort.
Netreo and Cisco
Cisco CB-QOS
Cisco’s Class-Based Quality of Service (CBQoS) is the benchmark for network-layer performance management, and Netreo will automatically discover the configuration of your CBQOS environment, giving you detailed statistics on per-queue bandwidth utilization, drops, queue depth, and traffic shaping and policing statistics. These can be automatically associated with matching configurations on other devices so you can easily compare QoS in each direction on a particular link and quickly identify misconfigurations and performance issues.
Database
MYSQL
Availability monitoring and detailed performance statistics are available for MySQL environments, including:
- Aborted clients and connections
- CPU utilization
- Memory utilization
- Query cache
- Table locks
- Threads
MS SQL
Our MS SQL monitoring fits seamlessly into your Netreo dashboard and provides deep performance statistics and monitoring including:
- Availability
- CPU usage
- Memory usage
- Deadlocks
- Packets and SQL Read/Write
- Transactions per second
- Buffer Cache Hits Ratio
- Blocked & Blocking Processes (per database)
- Data File Utilization (per database)
- Locks (per database)
- Log File Utilization (per database)
- Longest Query Time (per database)
- Total Data & Log file size (per database)
Oracle
Netreo can monitor the status of and gather performance statistics from Oracle databases, including:
- Availability
- Connected Users
- CPU usage
- Memory usage
- Cache Miss Ratio
- Buffer allocation entries/retries ratio
- Latch Miss Ratio
- Disk Sort Ratio
- Rollback Segment Waits
- Dispatcher Workload
- Number of locked objects
- Number of locks blocking other locks
- Tablespace Usage
Netreo can run synthetic email transactions against both local and cloud-hosted email servers to determine end-to-end connectivity and alert if inbound or outbound mail fails or takes too long to complete. It can also monitor locally hosted email systems such as Lotus Notes or Microsoft Exchange and provide detailed performance statistics for CPU / Memory / Latency, Bandwidth usage, queue size, emails per second, connected clients, information store size, and quotas exceeded.
Process Monitoring
Netreo can monitor the number and status of running processes, jobs, or services, and alert or report on status, CPU utilization, memory utilization, running time, idle time, and more, on Windows, Linux, Unix, Z/OS, and IBM I-Series platforms.
Additionally, Netreo can be easily extended to monitor nearly any device that can be attached to the network or Internet
