Orion Feature » Intuitive Point-and-Click Interface


  • Quickly and easily identify issues with the Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM) highly intuitive, web-based interface
  • Customize and view data in graphs, tables and lists
  • Remotely view and administer network devices across your enterprise

When you need critical network information fast, you can’t waste time trying to reverse-engineer the thought process of whoever designed the cryptic user interface of your network management software. Orion NPM’s interface was designed by network engineers, for network engineers. We understand that you want to spend time managing your network – not managing your network management software.

Orion NPM arms you with a highly intuitive, fully customizable, web-based interface. With point-and-click simplicity, the interface allows you to remotely view network fault, availability, and performance information through detailed graphs, tables and lists.

Using the same web interface, you can also perform administrative tasks such as adding new devices from anywhere on your network – no more RDP’ing to your host monitoring server.  You can even import your own HTML code into the Orion NPM interface to create personalized views and screens, or customize views and access levels by user account.

Some of the most popular features of the Orion NPM interface include:

  • Top 10 lists that give you at-a-glance visibility into  the nodes and interfaces experiencing the highest amounts of network traffic, capacity utilization, response time, memory usage, CPU load, disk space volume, and more
  • Real-time network maps that enable you to create nested maps of your network by floor, building, department, or geography, enabling you to track live network performance by location; learn more about Orion NPM’s Network Map Maker
  • Device troubleshooting displays that present critical metrics like CPU load, disk space, and memory utilization in a single screen, so that you can easily troubleshoot problems with network devices
  • Custom HTML resources that facilitate creating highly customized views by importing your own HTML into the Orion NPM interface; with just a few mouse clicks, you can display a trouble ticket entry form, account history, or even a live feed to a web cam in your offsite data center
  • Customizable web views that make it easy to change page layout, modify the types of information displayed, and customize toolbars; this ensure you can get the view you need to most effectively manage your network


"We evaluated a number of solutions on the market and Orion is just as scalable and flexible as many other large, expensive framework solutions such as HP OpenView, but requires significantly less effort to use and maintain."
