Network Performance Monitor

System Analysis

Observability

Normal Behavior

A tool for monitoring the performance of a computer network.

Failure Behavior

May drop requests or fallback to degraded mode under load.

Business Consequence

Losing a Network Performance Monitor (NPM) leaves the organization blind to the circulatory system of its infrastructure. Micro-bursts, packet loss, and BGP routing failures go undetected, leading to degraded application performance that frustrates users, violates SLAs, and masks sophisticated data exfiltration attempts by malicious actors.

Visual Manifestation

"Blank topology maps, zero-visibility into packet drops, and engineers blaming 'the network' without any proof."

Satirical Behavior

"A dashboard full of colorful graphs that network engineers point to when claiming 'it's a DNS issue, not a network issue'."
