In the previous article, we explained the importance of network monitoring in the 5G era. Still related, in this article we will discuss further about how to monitor networks in the era of 5G technology. The news about 5G technology that will enter starting next year has been eagerly awaited by many people. There are many supporting factors and one of the reasons is the technological advances it promises. Not only that, the speed of the internet network on 5G is also very tantalizing for people. According to an article written by Srivastav, he mentioned that there are 10 technologies that are predicted to benefit from this 5G technology. Two of them are predictive analytics and automation. What do these two mean? So what does it have to do with network monitoring, especially NetMonk?

Predictive analytics


According to Rouse, predictive analytics is an advanced form of analytics that uses new and historical data to forecast activity, behavior, and trends. He adds, predictive analytics involves applying statistical analysis techniques, analytical queries, and automated machine learning algorithms to data sets to create predictive models that place numerical values or scores on the likelihood of certain events occurring. The usefulness of predictive analytics itself is to measure and analyze to predict the possible behavior of individuals, machines, or other entities. For example, predictive analytics is also used in network monitoring such as NetMonk, an Indonesian network monitoring application. For more details, you can see on the NetMonk dashboard in the predictive link section which is used to predict the threshold or threshold of the network. This is very useful as a justification for which network links must be upgraded. So, you can find out how many days the network threshold is and update or replace it before something unwanted happens.

If the prediction is true that predictive analytics is one of the technologies that will benefit from the upcoming 5G technology, then network monitoring, especially NetMonk, can also continue to grow and remain needed in the future.

Automation


According to Srivastav, automation has moved forward from its involvement in the production line and in 2020 will be one of the most awaited new technologies. Automation is the creation of technologies and their applications to control and monitor the production and delivery of various goods and services. Automation is used in a number of fields such as manufacturing, transportation, utilities, defense, facilities, operations, information technology and so on. Automation is also used by NetMonk to send alert messages via telegram. So, when a network device experiences a down problem or the network experiences a threshold as described above, you will automatically get a telegram message containing a warning about it.

From the paragraph above, it can be concluded that network monitoring can be one of the technologies that can survive the times, especially in the upcoming 5G technology era.
