Real­Time Network Monitoring System   2
 Introduction
A smart way to manage and monitor local network 
resources.
Enables the local administrator to perform real­time 
monitoring on a huge network.
Works as a Decision Support System for the 
administrator.
Helps the administrator to keep up his job challenges.

 Objectives & Scope of the System
Objective:
The main objective of the system is to develope a
full fledged system giving details about the local
network.
Scope:
The Real time Network Monitoring System can be
widely used in networks of organization where a large
number of computer systems, network printers are a
part such as BPO s, Software Development Firms,
Universities, Colleges etc.

Real­Time Network Monitoring System   18
 Limitations
Requires separate login and thus the default login 
authentication system of the operating system is 
disabled.
Server side works well under Linux Operating 
System(specifically Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala).
Does not monitor all shared resources.

Real­Time Network Monitoring System   19
 Future Enhancements
Can be upgraded to include monitoring of other resources such as 
fax machines, scanners, etc.
Printer monitor must be upgraded to include 
automatic print request routing
making the print facility to be directly invoked from other 
applications.
Can enhanced to include a network firewall.
Client monitor can be enhanced by upgrading the static graphs to 
dynamic making it more real­time. 
Also a chat application can be embedded in it.
