How VNQM works
VoIP and Network Quality Manager collects Network Service Assurance-specific data and provides presentation tools, dashboard views that contain tables, graphs, and charts, that enable Network Service Assurance network monitoring and real-time status reporting.
For more information, see How SolarWinds VNQM works.
Configure VNQM
VNQM uses a wizard-based application to guide you through the configuration process in the SolarWinds Platform Web Console. You will add your devices, define what you are going to monitor, and specify how often you want to poll data from your devices.
Once configured, you can change your settings any time to further customize VoIP and Network Quality Manager for your network.
To begin, see Configure SolarWinds VNQM.
Use VNQM
VNQM opens in a web browser and displays performance metrics in two basic types of customizable views containing resources.
Available views include summary views, showing details on all nodes and operations managed by VNQM, and detail views, showing traffic information about individual objects.
You can simplify network monitoring by customizing charts and properties, creating alerts, using reports to extract data from your database, variables, and more.
