Tips for Successful Network Monitoring in South Africa
  1. Know the local context   In South Africa many organizations face power instability  (load‑shedding) and connectivity issues  (undersea cable breaks, latency) which can lead to network outages.   Recognise that a monitoring plan must account for these external risks, network monitoring in South Africa  not just internal device failures.   2. Establish clear visibility and metrics   You need end‑to‑end visibility into your network: devices, links, performance (latency, packet loss, bandwidth), access points.   Set baseline performance metrics: what “normal” looks like so you can detect anomalies. For example latency/throughput benchmarks in SA may differ from other regions.   Define alert thresholds and escalation paths. If something deviates from baseline, who gets notified, how fast, what action?   3. Use robust monitoring tools & configuration management   Choose tools that cover your hybrid environment (on‑premises, cloud, remote branches) and can be scaled.   Manage con...
