A Graphical View of your Network
InterMapper shows you the health of your network at a glance. Maps present all routers, switches, servers, LAN and WAN links, and connections between elements. Status Windows and Strip Charts detail device status and performance trends.   Maps Maps provide "big picture" view of your network. Network elements appear in their physical locations and connections and traffic are clearly depicted. A quick glance at an InterMapper network map will tell you what's up and running, and what isn't.	This map shows that the traffic to the public Internet is high.
Devices that are down blink red Devices that are operating normally are green Links between devices are shown as lines connecting those devices High traffic links have yellow or orange backgrounds Links with lower traffic have "ants" — dotted lines along the link — to show traffic above a certain threshold Maps provide a constant record of your entire network configuration - which is critical in the case of failure. When routers, switches, hubs, and servers are down, it's impossible to auto-detect their locations or status, or similar details for connected devices. Armed with your network maps, you'll know where to go to swap elements or make fixes.	"InterMapper software and strip charts have allowed us to provision fraction T-1 internet links for our members. They can now purchase the bandwidth they need when they need it. This is a big savings for our customers." Dan Swick Director of Operations South Slope Cooperative Telephone Company
Status Windows Status Windows display data that underlie network elements and connections depicted on a map. Any device that supports SNMP protocols, such as routers, switches, hubs, or servers reports a variety of identifiers (name, port, type, DNS name, addresses) and performance indicators (utilization, transmit and receive traffic counts, uptime, packet loss, spanning tree information) that are critical for regular maintenance and problem diagnosis. These windows "tear off" so the information will persist in a window that floats above the map. Status Window for a router, switch, or bridge.
Status Window for a link showing traffic stats	You'll see the Interface Status window at the left when you click and hold on a link of a SNMP-speaking device. It shows the detailed transmit and receive statistics for that interface, utilization, as well as the device's name, link type, description, status, and IP and MAC address.
The Device Status window shown at the right appears when you click and hold on a device on the map. This window displays relevant statistics for the device, including its DNS name and IP address, its uptime, availability, packet loss statistics (if relevant) round trip time, and a history of its recent outages.

Strip Charts Strip charts illustrate the history of various statistics. These can be % utilization, error counts, packet and byte counts, etc.) for a network element or link, temperature and CPU/Memory utilization for a router/server, or custom statistics that are critical for your own application. This strip chart shows the ingoing and outgoing traffic for a router. Creating a Strip Chart is as simple as double-clicking a data item or dragging it to a current chart window.
