TECHNICAL CONFIGURATION REQUIREMENTS

To ensure all 18+ telemetry graphs (Latency, Jitter, Packet Loss, etc.) show accurate real-time data, please ensure your network equipment and firewalls are configured with the following parameters:

  • ICMP (PING): Enable Echo Request/Reply. Required for high-fidelity Latency, Jitter, and Packet Loss tracking.
  • SNMP (PORT 161): Open UDP Port 161. Required for Battery, Fan, Humidity, and remote Hardware telemetry.
  • SNMP COMMUNITY: Ensure your 'Community String' (default: public) matches your ZCOM dashboard configuration.
  • HOST RESOURCES MIB: Your device must support RFC 2790 for remote CPU and Uptime tracking to function.
  • DNS MONITORING: If monitoring via Port 53, ensure both TCP and UDP traffic is permitted for heartbeat verification.
  • ICMP RATE LIMITING: Adjust ICMP policing on your edge router to prevent artificial 'Packet Loss' during high-frequency polling.
  • FIREWALL ALLOWLIST: Ensure ZCOM NOC IP addresses are permitted to prevent 'OFFLINE' false positives.
  • MTU OPTIMIZATION: Ensure MTU is set to 1500 (or 1400 for tunneled links) to prevent fragmentation in Throughput analytics.
CORE MONITORING METHODS

ZCOM Network Services supports three high-fidelity methods to populate your 18 telemetry graphs. IP/Port monitoring and SNMP can be combined in a single slot for full-stack oversight.

Method 1: IP Address & Port (Heartbeat)

The most common method. Provide your target IP and open the corresponding port (e.g., 80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS, 53 for DNS). ZCOM will perform sub-second probes to generate Latency, Jitter, and Packet Loss graphs.

Method 2: Net-SNMP (Hardware & Environmental Pull)

Standard for servers and routers. Open UDP Port 161 and provide your Community String. ZCOM will pull real-time data for CPU Load, Temperature, Humidity, and Uptime.

Method 3: ZCOM Heartbeat Agent (Encrypted Push)

Ideal for devices behind strict firewalls. Run our lightweight script to push metrics directly to your Order ID page via our secure API.

import requests, psutil, time
while True:
    m = {"cpu_usage": psutil.cpu_percent(), "uptime": round(time.time() - psutil.boot_time())/3600}
    requests.post("https://zcomnetworkservices.com/api/agent/push", 
                  json={"order_id": "YOUR_ORDER_ID", "slot_index": 0, "metrics": m})
    time.sleep(60)
REAL-TIME PORT & SNMP OVERSIGHT

ZCOM Network Services provides sub-second visual indicators for every monitored port and SNMP interface. This ensures total visibility into your service availability.

ZCOM Port Status Oversight

Visual Status Matrix

  • GREEN DOT: Port is OPEN and verified. The specific service (HTTP, SNMP, etc.) is responding.
  • RED DOT: Port is CLOSED or BLOCKED. The target IP is online, but the specific service is unreachable.
  • DARK/GRAY DOT: Target is OFFLINE. No connectivity detected to the host.

Enterprise SNMP Scanner

Use the integrated SCAN button within the SNMP Configuration panel to automatically detect and map network interfaces. This ensures 100% accurate mapping for high-fidelity throughput graphing.

GLOBAL PORT & PROTOCOL MATRIX
SERVICE PORT PROTOCOL DASHBOARD METRIC

DUAL-SOURCE TELEMETRY MAPPING

The ZCOM Dashboard utilizes simultaneous data streams to populate all 18+ graphs:

  • SLOT IP DATA: Generates high-precision Heartbeat (Status), Latency, Jitter, and Packet Loss analytics.
  • SNMP DATA: Pulls hardware-level telemetry including Battery Backup, Fan Velocity, Ambient Humidity, Remote CPU Load, and System Uptime.
  • NOC BACKBONE DATA: Provides environmental and security metrics such as Intrusion Attempts, Encryption Entropy, DNS Speed, and Link Throughput.
