Abstract: The analysis of monitoring methods is carried out in the work, the network monitoring and parameters of computer equipment use are considered in detail. Monitoring is the use of registration and analysis tools to accurately determine the level of traffic, usage and other performance indicators in the network, as well as monitoring the use of computing resources on your computer. Good monitoring tools give you both solid numbers and graphical aggregates of network status. This helps to imagine exactly what is happening so that you know where adjustments may be needed. [1-3] The main types of modern monitoring tools are given. A comparison of the most common monitoring systems for the possibility of implementation at the Department of "Telecommunications". Requirements to the monitoring system are formed and 2 possible systems for deployment are selected. PRTG Network Monitor and SysGauge systems have been installed and configured. SysGauge is a system and performance monitoring utility that allows you to control the use of virtually all computer settings and resources. [4] PRTG Network Monitor is a tool widely known for its advanced infrastructure management capabilities. All devices, systems, traffic, and applications on your network can be easily displayed in a hierarchical view that summarizes performance and alerts. [5] Monitoring of several computers using these systems has been studied. There are automatic notifications in case of computer failures or overloads. We organize the generation and sending of reports on the use of PC resources to e-mail, as well as automatic deletion of monthly reports from the server. A comparison of the two selected systems to meet our criteria. Monitoring is the use of registration and analysis tools to accurately determine the level of traffic, usage and other performance indicators in the network, as well as monitoring the use of computing resources on your computer. Good monitoring tools give you both solid numbers and graphical aggregates of network status. This helps you know exactly what’s going on so you know where adjustments may be needed. Our department does not have a monitoring system, so our work will not be in vain and will have scientific novelty. Because the monitoring system would help not only with tracking the PC load and the use of its computing resources, but also to monitor the learning process. The operation of the monitoring system is invisible, but it has many advantages for which we will be grateful over time for setting up a system. The obtained results make it possible to monitor the efficiency of the use of computing resources and in time to identify bottlenecks in the use of equipment in the educational process. Although monitoring services can be added to an existing network server, it is often desirable to allocate one machine (or more if needed) to monitor the network. Some programs (such as ntop http://www.ntop.org/) require significant resources to run, especially on a busy network. But most registration and monitoring programs have modest RAM requirements and memory, usually with low power consumption. Because open source operating systems (such as Linux or BSD) use hardware resources very efficiently, this allows you to create a very efficient monitoring server from recycled parts of your PC. There is usually no need to buy a brand-new server to move on to monitoring responsibilities. Exceptions to this rule are very large installations. If your network includes more than a few hundred nodes, or if you consume more than 50 Mbps of Internet bandwidth, you will probably have to distribute monitoring responsibilities among several dedicated machines. If you’re only interested in collecting network statistics from your router, you can do so from virtually anywhere on your LAN. By definition, servers provide critical services that should always be available. Servers receive and respond to client machine requests by providing access to the services that are essential to having a network first. Therefore, servers must have enough hardware to accommodate the workload. This means that they must have enough RAM, memory and computing power to meet the number of customer requests. Otherwise, the server will take longer to respond, or at worst it may not respond at all. Because hardware resources are limited, it is important to monitor how system resources are used. If the primary server (such as a proxy server or mail server) is overloaded with requests, access time becomes slow.
