Introducing Network Destinations: Obkio's ICMP Monitoring Feature
For years, traditional traceroutes have been a last-resort troubleshooting step. They’re hard to run in real time, rarely provide the right data when you need it, and offer little to no historical visibility.
We knew there had to be a better way. That’s why we set out to reinvent traceroute from the ground up.
Obkio's Visual Traceroutes are visual, modern, continuous, and are designed to correlate data alongside Network Performance, SNMP (Device) and Application Performance data to identify and troubleshoot performance issues.
The Visual Traceroute Tool is included free in all Obkio plans. Known internally as the “AHA moment” feature, it enables users to pinpoint the root cause of issues in seconds. By making it universally available, Obkio ensures every team can benefit from faster problem-solving and greater network visibility.
