Key Features

All In One Solution: According to the vendor, Blesk performs all aspects of network monitoring from a single machine, which they claim can provide convenience and efficiency. They also state that it offers fast and scalable deployments, aiming to ensure a smooth implementation process and a potential high return on investment.

Application Performance Monitor (APM): Blesk's APM module is designed to identify and resolve issues that may cause applications to be down for users. According to the vendor, it quickly detects network, protocol, and service failures, and alerts on SNMP traps. Additionally, it can monitor process and batch tasks, aiming to ensure optimal application performance.

Network Performance Monitor (NPM): With Blesk's NPM module, users can trace serial data such as CPU load or bandwidth usage. According to the vendor, it collects, analyzes, and measures performance data for SNMP compliant devices in near real-time. They claim it can predict saturation, classify interface ports by use, and calculate losses and latencies of different equipment.

Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA): Blesk's NTA module is said to proactively identify bandwidth issues, performance bottlenecks, and DDoS attacks. According to the vendor, it tracks stream data through NetFlow, Jflow, and sFlow protocols, visualizes flow data of the most used devices, and provides insights into protocol usage on the network. They also state that it can identify the largest consumers of data in real-time.

Event Log Manager (ELM): Blesk's ELM module is designed to store billions of log entries and filter them through intelligent search. According to the vendor, it creates tables to visualize log events (Syslogs) and performs various types of searches. They claim it is compatible with all types of structured, unstructured, geo, and metric log events and can be extended to a cluster (Big Data) and operate in a distributed environment.

Switch Port Manager (SPM): The SPM module aims to simplify the search for network devices. According to the vendor, it provides automatic data refresh and star mapping, generates reports relevant to the network infrastructure, and finds device location within seconds using device name, MAC, or IP address.

Network Security Monitor (NSM): Blesk's NSM module is designed to analyze traffic in real-time to detect suspicious intrusions. According to the vendor, it prioritizes vulnerabilities, simplifies compliance, and provides continuous security monitoring. They state that it offers an immediate vulnerability overview, aiming to ensure full coverage and visibility.

Network Configuration Manager (NCM): The NCM module allows users to schedule automated tasks for backing up and securely storing device configurations, according to the vendor. They state that it archives previous versions of configurations, checks for device updates, and efficiently manages multiple devices and network device access.

Asset Life Cycle Manager (ALM): Blesk's ALM module is designed to track software usage, versions, and available licenses. According to the vendor, it associates tickets with equipment or software for history tracking, anticipates software updates, and provides real-time status of software and licenses. They state that it maintains a complete history for each asset modification.
