Troubleshooting

LANGuardian is an indispensable tool for network engineers who need to troubleshoot problems on the network. Its detailed reports and drill-down capabilities make it easy to identify the sources of problems, while its database of historical traffic information makes it possible to identify issues and trends that cannot be idenfitied using real-time data alone.

LANGuardian can also help to prevent problems occurring on the network. You can set up alerts to notify you by email when specified thresholds are breached, enabling you to address the situation before it develops into a problem.

Here are some examples of issues our customers have addressed using LANGuardian:

• Track down a machine on a company network that was sending spam email and causing the company network to be blacklisted by its ISP.
• Identify the user who deleted a specific file from a network share.
• Detect use of BitTorrent clients and downloads on the network.
• Identify use of smartphones on the network.
• Discover that bandwidth and server disk space were being wasted by networked PCs synchronizing their Windows Recycle Bin with the network.
• Find out the extent of employee use of Facebook during working hours.
• Attribute an unexpected deterioration in network performance to users watching an important sporting event online.
