Remote means accessing or monitoring computers and network resources that are not on your local machine—often in another office, branch, data center, or cloud environment. For IT teams, remote access and remote monitoring are essential because infrastructure is rarely all in one place. The key is being able to see real-time status and respond quickly, even when the systems are physically far away.
Remote access and remote monitoring with IPNetwork Monitor. To manage an IPNetwork Monitor installation from outside the local network, the most common approach is to enable Remote Desktop access to the Windows server running IPNetwork Monitor (with appropriate router/firewall rules and security controls). For monitoring remote hosts, IPNetwork Monitor supports multiple protocols depending on the target: WMI monitors can collect Windows performance and resource metrics (CPU, memory, disks, processes) and can be extended with custom WMI queries; SNMP monitors and SNMP Traps can monitor routers, switches, UNIX/Linux systems, and other SNMP-enabled devices; and application-level monitors can check web, mail, and database services from afar. If you need to monitor multiple network segments reliably, you can deploy Remote Network Agents to collect data locally in each remote network and forward results back to your main IPNetwork Monitor instance.
