Watchdog makes network monitoring for branch, data center, and cloud environments cost-effective and easy.
Branch locations
- Deploy the agent to existing hardware like Cisco switches and routers as a docker container
- Or install the watchdog agent on dedicated hardware like Dell EMC VEP 1425 or Raspberry Pi and connecting them to the branch ethernet
- No configuration is required. The device will connect automatically onboard to Watchdog in minutes
Cloud environments and data centers
- Run the Watchdog Agent in a VM with a custom image for each installation
- VM configuration is as easy as assigning the activation token and naming the VM on Watchdog Dashboard
- No further configuration is required. The VM will connect automatically onboard to Watchdog in minutes
Watchdog system overview
Once the Watchdog Agents are installed and activated, reports begin immediately with little or no configuration required
