Arpgate Glance: Network monitoring, deadly simple.
Arpgate Glance is designed to be set up in minutes, not weeks. It will give you one clear view of network health and alerts that tell you what to do next. Built by network engineers, for the teams who keep networks running.
Why simpler
Monitoring should not become its own project.
Traditional monitoring tools can do almost anything. That is the problem. They take weeks to roll out, need constant tuning and bury the alert that matters under the ones that do not.
Glance starts from a different question: what does the person responsible for this network need to know right now? Every part of the product is designed around that answer.
| Traditional monitoring tools | Glance is designed to |
|---|---|
| Traditional monitoring toolsWeeks of templates, credentials, polling rules and tuning before anything useful appears | Glance is designed toBe set up in minutes, with discovery doing the heavy lifting |
| Traditional monitoring toolsDozens of dashboards that someone has to build and maintain | Glance is designed toShow one clear view of network health from day one |
| Traditional monitoring toolsAlert floods that teach teams to ignore notifications | Glance is designed toGroup related events and alert only when action is needed |
| Traditional monitoring toolsRaw metrics that need an expert to interpret | Glance is designed toExplain what happened and suggest what to do next |
| Traditional monitoring toolsA specialist whose job is running the monitoring tool itself | Glance is designed toBe usable by every engineer on the team |
Features
Everything you need to see. Nothing you do not.
Glance is being built around a short list of capabilities that matter to the people who run networks. Each one is designed to work without a manual.
Live topology maps
Built to draw your network as it really is, from discovery data instead of hand-drawn diagrams. Link status and utilization update in place, and the map changes when the network does.
SNMP, NetFlow, syslog and API data
Designed to bring SNMP metrics, flow records, syslog events and vendor API data into one place, so you stop switching between tools to piece together what happened.
- SNMP v2c · v3
- NetFlow
- IPFIX
- Syslog
- REST APIs
Clear health scores
Every device, link and site is designed to roll up into a single health score, with the reasons behind it one click away.
Simple dashboards
Useful views from the first login, and a straightforward editor when you want your own. Built so nobody has to learn a query language to answer a question.
Role-based, multi-tenant access
Built so engineers, managers and clients each see what they need. Permissions are designed to be scoped by role, site or tenant, which keeps client networks separate for service providers.
Alerting
Alerts that tell you what to do
Designed to group related events, hold back downstream noise and point to the probable cause. Every alert is built to answer three questions: what happened, why it matters and what to do next.
- Related events grouped into one incident
- Downstream noise suppressed
- Next steps written in plain language
How it works
From zero to a clear picture in three steps.
Glance is designed so setup takes minutes, not weeks. There are no templates to build and no polling rules to write before you see value.
-
01
Connect
Tell Glance which subnets to watch and which read-only credentials to use. It is designed to start with SNMP and add flow, syslog and API data when you are ready.
-
02
Discover
Glance is built to find devices, identify vendor, model and role, and draw the topology automatically. No spreadsheets, no manual diagrams.
-
03
See and act
Health scores, dashboards and alerts are designed to be ready right away. When something needs attention, Glance tells you what to do about it.
Who it's for
Made for the people who keep networks running.
Glance is designed for teams that are accountable for uptime and short on time, whether they run one organization's network or many.
-
In-house network and IT teams
Lean teams responsible for uptime who need fast answers and have no time to maintain a monitoring platform.
- One view across every site
- Alerts with next steps
- No monitoring specialist required
-
Managed service providers
Providers running many client networks who need tenant separation, consistent standards and fewer tickets caused by noise.
- Multi-tenant by design
- Per-client views and access
- Consistent alerting across clients
-
IT leaders and program managers
Leaders who need to know whether the network is healthy, and what is being done about it, without reading raw metrics.
- Health at a glance
- Plain-language status
- Views scoped to their role
Built by network engineers
Designed to check what an experienced engineer checks first.
Our engineers have designed, secured and operated networks since 2009. Glance puts that way of working into software: less configuration, clearer signals and next steps written the way an engineer would explain them.
