Network monitoring is the activity of monitoring the condition of a computer network to ensure its performance is optimized. According to experts, network monitoring can be defined as the process of monitoring and measuring network performance parameters such as data transfer speed, bandwidth usage, and network device status.

The main purpose of computer network monitoring is to ensure that the network functions properly and is always in optimal condition. Through network monitoring, network administrators are able to identify problems or disruptions early on before they impact the users or business operations served by the network.

By conducting regular network monitoring, network administrators can take proactive corrective actions, such as performing routine maintenance, upgrading or repairing the network, or resetting the network configuration, so as to reduce downtime and avoid financial and reputational losses that may arise due to an unstable or insecure network. In addition, network monitoring is also useful for making decisions regarding the development or improvement of a better network infrastructure in the future.

Then, in the process, network monitoring activities are usually carried out by someone who is responsible for the task. Personnel in charge of monitoring the network are referred to as network monitor engineers or network administrators. Their main task is to monitor network performance continuously, identify problems or disruptions that arise, and deal with these problems as quickly as possible to maintain optimal network performance.

In addition, they are also responsible for carrying out routine maintenance on the network, upgrading or repairing it if necessary, and developing effective network monitoring strategies to prevent future problems. They can also work with other IT teams in developing the right information technology solutions to support better business operations.
