Network Monitoring

Your whole network on one colour-coded map — every customer radio and network device pinged every minute of every day, with history going back forever. Know about problems before your customers call, and know exactly which fix worked.

The network map

Every site, backhaul, and access point, colour-coded by live quality. Green means healthy, yellow means degrading, and the map updates in real time as conditions change — one glance tells you how the whole network is doing.

Sites roll up into regions as you zoom out, so a 400-site network is as readable as a 40-site one.

The Swift Fox network status page: a map of sites connected by green backhaul links, with a status panel below showing 24-hour pinglog strips for every site

The live network status page — a mid-morning interference event is visible in several site pinglogs.

The Pinglog

See every customer on an access point and their performance over the past day, week, month or even year. Know instantly whether a channel change has fixed the issue, or when you need to upgrade equipment for capacity.

Discover network issues before your customers do!

An access point's client list with per-customer signal levels and 24-hour ping history strips, showing a brief mid-morning event across several customers

Every customer on one access point, one row per radio — the strips make a channel problem obvious at a glance.

Backhaul capacity, measured

Reported capacity is obtained from every major model of wireless equipment and graphed against usage. For even greater accuracy, single-stream TCP speedtests can be automatically performed on all backhauls between compatible MikroTik routers.

A backhaul detail page: bandwidth usage graphed against measured wireless capacity over 24 hours, with signal chains, noise floor, and modulation shown below

A backhaul through an overnight modulation drop — measured capacity falls, and the wireless chart underneath shows exactly why.

Frequency planner

Current frequencies are monitored from all major models of wireless equipment and displayed on a chart to help avoid conflicts. Both full and half duplex radios are supported.

The frequency planner: sites as rows, spectrum bands as columns, every radio's channel plotted — two conflicting assignments highlighted in orange

The whole network's spectrum on one chart — the two orange entries are conflicts worth fixing.

Customer LOS path plots

Enter the customer's address and immediately discover which towers would best provide service based on topography and line of sight.

A line-of-sight path plot from tower to customer: terrain profile with Fresnel zone, land cover along the path, and predicted versus measured signal strength

A 6 km path with terrain, land cover, and predicted vs measured signal.

Paging that wakes the right person

Ping every customer radio every minute of the day, storing the history going back forever. Robust paging schedule features set varying time-of-day based thresholds and on-call rotations.

A site's alert thresholds: per-metric good, warning, and high levels with current status — one latency metric in warning state, counting down to an alert

Per-metric thresholds with ISP-wide defaults and per-site overrides — one latency metric is 32 seconds from paging someone.
