Network Monitoring Best Practices 🌐🔧

1. Choose the Right Tools 🛠️

Use reliable monitoring tools like Zabbix, Nagios, or PRTG to track network performance.

For deeper insights, combine tools with **traffic_analysis** capabilities.

2. Real-Time Monitoring & Alerts ⏱️

Enable real-time monitoring to detect anomalies immediately.

Set up alerts for critical thresholds (e.g., latency, packet loss) using **threshold_alerts**.

3. Regular Baseline Checks 📊

Establish baseline performance metrics for your network.

Compare current data against baselines to identify deviations.

4. Secure Your Monitoring Infrastructure 🔒

Ensure monitoring systems are protected against unauthorized access.

Use **encryption** and **role-based_access** for secure data transmission.

5. Document & Audit 📜

Maintain detailed logs and documentation for troubleshooting.

Conduct periodic audits to refine monitoring strategies.
