SoloNOC: Network Monitor

Inlet Games

About this app

SoloNOC is network monitoring for the one-person IT shop: every client network on one screen, and an alert only when something actually needs you.

You install the SoloNOC collector on a Linux machine at each site. It pings every device once a minute, polls routers, switches and servers over SNMP (including whether each interface is up or down), and re-maps the subnet with ARP every five minutes. This Android app is where you see what it found and act on it.

WHAT THE ANDROID APP DOES
• Network tab: the health of every site and device in one view
• Alerts tab: filter by status and severity; acknowledge or resolve an alert with a swipe, or acknowledge every firing alert at once
• Alert analysis: a plain summary of the alerts on screen (how long they have been open, which devices and sites they hit, the likely cause and what to check next). It is worked out on your phone from your own alert data; nothing is sent to any AI service.
• Sites: each site's devices, and a one-tap discovery scan when something new is plugged in
• Device pages: charts of the device's readings over 1 hour, 6 hours, 24 hours or 7 days, its interfaces, its alerts, and the remediation actions your account has set up
• Home-screen widget: your active alert count at a glance

HOW YOU HEAR ABOUT A PROBLEM
• Email: when an alert fires, SoloNOC emails your account's admins. Alerts can also post to Slack, Discord or Microsoft Teams channels you connect at solonoc.com.
• On this phone: turn on Background health check in Settings and choose every 15 minutes, 30 minutes or hour. The app checks your account on that schedule and shows a notification when new alerts appear. Android may run the check later than the chosen time to save battery.
• Instant push notifications are not in the Android app yet.

HOW FRESH THE DATA IS
The collector takes a reading of every device each minute. A failed check, or a reading that crosses or comes near one of your alert rules, is sent straight away. On a quiet network the routine readings are sent together every five minutes, and every minute for ten minutes after you start a scan or run an action on that site.

SECURITY
The app talks to the SoloNOC service over HTTPS only. Your sign-in is kept in Android's encrypted storage on the phone. Your monitoring data is never sold.

GET STARTED
1. Create your account at solonoc.com.
2. Install the collector on a Linux box at each site. It connects out over HTTPS, so no inbound ports are needed.
3. Sign in here with your work email. To look around first, tap "Try the reviewer demo" on the sign-in screen to open a sample network.
