Review a graphical node-by-node display of critical network paths. With NetPath, you can see how your network is delivering applications to your users, whether paths to key applications are up or down. NetPath also helps you identify where a network problem is and who is responsible for it.

1. Deploy a probe on a computer. The probe discovers and tests the network path the traffic takes to any network endpoint. See Add and manage NetPath endpoints.

2. Review the NetPath tab. Click the Network area overview > NetPath. The screen lists all endpoints defined in your organization.

   • Click an endpoint row to display the Inspector Panel for the endpoint.

   • Click the endpoint name to display Endpoint Details, Probe Details, and the Path for the endpoint in the tab.

     Grey nodes without a description are usually timed-out by a firewall.

   • Click a probe in the Probes Details widget to display the corresponding path below.

   • The Graph widget displays the path from the probe to the endpoint. Click a node or connection in the Graph widget to display details about the node/connection in the Inspector Panel.

     

   • To zoom in/out in the Graph widget, click into the widget and use the mouse wheel.

   • Scroll down in the Graph widget to see the timeline. The timeline represents each NetPath data poll. Click an item to display data for the selected moment. Green items mean that reaching the path was successful, red items mean that the path failed or has reached the critical status.

   • To change the timeline, move the slider below the timeline.

   • To alert on specific metrics for an endpoint (latency, packet loss, or status), click the vertical ellipsis at the end of the row, select the appropriate Create Alert on item and complete the wizard. See Create an alert based on a template.

     To access the vertical ellipsis menus, your user account needs the Alerting > Settings permission. See Agents.
